This afternoon, our focus concentrated on imagery and descriptive language as a tool to impact listening and viewing audiences. We spoke about the art festival this weekend in Palm Beach Gardens at which some students work was displayed. Mercer commented on some of the pictures shown to him and was asked to use descriptive language when discussing the work he created. He was prompted to express himself in more elaborate responses and added details to his succinct answers to make his responses more int complex and interesting. Mercer included the vibrant colors he used in his piece (a skull with flowers and bees coming out of it - for a Garden theme). He attempted to explain the effect he wished to create in efforts to make his words more impactful and powerful by appealing to the audience's senses.
