October 13th- Storytelling

In Wednesday's class we each presented to the class 3 separate, unrelated images that told a story.  As a class we tried to decipher what each story was to see each story's effectiveness to the viewer.  I was glad that my story was visually easy to read.  Later in the class we watched a video from TED (technical entertainment design) with an author by the name of Elizabeth Gilbert talking about her success of the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and how she is dealing with the pressures to maintain and top that success and how artists usually deal with similar pressure(s) when their work is concerned.  I found it interesting that Jimmy had us watch a video with someone talking who's job it is to be a storyteller.  I felt that it tied in well with our assignment that we began class with.
