362B Reimagining Blake

Instructor
Vaz

William Blake was a risk-taker and a rule-breaker. In his creative output, he sought to unshackle the ideological “mind-forg’d manacles” that stunted human thought. We will study Blake’s seminal works and apply some risk-taking and rule-breaking of our own by digitally recreating a few of his illustrated plates. Just as Blake used text and image in his original plates, so will we, as we creatively and critically reimagine Blake’s work and his message.
