The last set of sketches turned out to be quite difficult. Some of the headings, such as the index and abstract categories, really stumped me. It was really hard to think of ways to capture a polar bear without actually showing one. I came up with the idea of using paw prints, and I think I will use it for my final image in one way or another, but I was not able to come up with ten ways to create different indexes of the animal. The abstract ones were just difficult because I found it hard to think of an outcome first and then work toward achieving it, which is the way I usually pursue such a creation. Rather, I found it worked better for me to try different techniques of distorting lines or scrambling an image and then working toward how to make it seem like a polar bear. However, I was not very impressed with any of the ideas that I came up with for the category, so I'll be continuing to find a good solution. One things for sure, I've got a lot of refining to do before Tuesday.
