TELL TALE HEARTS
TELL TALE HEARTS
They heard! -- they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making
a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this I think. But
anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable
than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer!
I felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again -- hark! louder!
louder! louder! LOUDER! --
Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear
up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!"
We began our project using geometric patterns to visualize the climax of Edger Allen Poe’s great short story, The Tell Tale Heart. As we moved on to draw our own rendition of a “hideous human heart”, we thought of a secret in our own lives that we would prefer to bury under floorboards. The words tattooed on the surface of the hearts hints toward these secrets still held within the hearts of the artists who created them.

HEARTS & MINDS
Students created orthogonal perspective drawings over a digital print of Raphael's painting, "The School of Athens".
On the left students drew their Geo-Emblem drawings vanishing at Plato's chest. These drawings visualize the students' idea of an ideal geometric design.
On the right students drew their Contextual-Coordinate drawing vanishing at Aristotle's head. These drawings visualize the students' experiential relation to the observable world (ie Philadelphia).
