Creative Response to My Topic

I have explored several different types of multimedia on the web, and one that I am most interested in at the moment is picture stories. I want to use some type of multimedia that animates my presentation into maybe a clickable or somehow interactive document interspersed with pictures and explanatory text.

It is my belief that experiencing something really causes it to sink in and stick with a person. For example, I find myself having the most trouble learning in classes where there is no hands on experience. If I am able to create something that allows for interaction, then maybe my point will be better understood and be more influential.

This form of expression also allows for a great deal of creativity. I could use images from the web, upload my own, put individual pieces together with text and images, organize the piece in any order, make it not have any order, etc. This approach would give me a lot of room to work, while exercising a form of multimedia that I haven't yet experienced. For examples of this type of multimedia see Musarium.

During class after lecture:

Perhaps instead of using this opportunity to develop a picture story type of further explanation, I will use this opportunity to create an example of my topic by creating my own work and expressing using this form of multimedia. I can take an influence in nature and develop my own artwork from it. After creating the artwork and documenting its creation in photographs and writing, I can put together a picture story concerning the creation of this artwork. However, instead of creating the picture story to further explain my topic, I will simply create a picture story as a journey through the creation of an artwork i.e. how I create an artwork. Then, the picture story in itself becomes an example of my topic. This is because it not only would show the inspiration and creation of a work through the influence of nature, but it will also be on the web within a multimedia style.
