What was behind the decision to use a picture of Venice as the backdrop? I think it's a funny thing how childhood rhymes keep ahold of us throughout life. No matter how complicated we try to make things or how desperate times may seem, those simple comforting ideas come back to us. Perhaps it is the fancy that wishes, which we know to be worthless, are not all together powerless. Maybe, just maybe, if we wish hard enough wishes turn into determination to make our wishes tangible and viable goals.
I don't know if there was a specific reason for using Venice. I had the opportunity to travel there this summer and I guess that I just thought it really encompassed what I was saying. And I wanted to use a photograph of my own rather than someone else's.
And I love the idea of having childhood rhymes and memories stay with us. It reminds me of the things that are most important in life and how its sometimes necessary to go back to that simplicity if possible.
I like how this turned out! I know already saw it in class, but I didn't know you took that picture. My favorite part of your remix project, besides the picture, is that you used some not so very well-known nursery rhymes with popular ones. Good job!
Thank you Kaitlin! I loved how you did your project as well..I think we were on the same page with fairy tales and nursery rhymes ;)
