NEW CREATION TASK: Oblique Strategies

Because we are going to visit the David Bowie exhibit at the AGO this week, we are going to do a short task to learn about his artistic process and influences.

One of the producers David Bowie worked with was Brian Eno, who uses a technique called Oblique Strategies. The Oblique Strategies are a deck of cards with different artistic prompts and ideas to help artists in their creative process.

First: Learn about Eno's Oblique Strategies
- read the Wikipedia entry about Oblique Strategies
- play with the random Oblique Strategy generator

Next: Create Your Own Oblique Strategies
- alone, or in a pair, brainstorm a list of strategies to overcome artistic blocks or challenges
- if you are solo, formalize your list to at least 25 strategies
- if you are a pair, formalize your list to at least 50 strategies
- come up with a creative way to present your list, such as:
* a deck of cards
* a poster
* a website
* a ppt/prezi
* a video
- Don't just hand in a typed list! Do something different.

Due: Friday November 22 (the morning of our Bowie trip)
