Words to shift the meaning

Our homework for the weekend was to bring 10 simple photographs/pictures to class, but we had no clue what the next assignment was going to be. Today in class, we were divided into groups. Out of the five people in the group we had to choose one picture and choose words or phrases that shift the meaning of the picture. At first, I thought we got off easy today and it was going to be a simple assignment for today. But, it was actually harder than I thought. You would think its only ten words, but it was difficult coming up with ten different words to shift the meaning of the photo we chose. For our homework, we have to choose another simple photo and do the same thing. I think a lot of us misunderstood the assignment or didn't really understand what type of words or phrases that Jimmy was looking for. Hopefully, after this assignment I would have a better understanding of what the target words would be, because as of this moment it is kind of hazy to me.

Adjectives:

Graceful-characterized by elegance or beauty of form, manner, movement, or speech; elegant
Sheer- Very thin or transparent texture
Flashy- momentarily Dazzling
Delicate- Pleasing to the senses
Trendy- very fashionable
Powerful- having great power, prestige or influence .

  1. it was kind of difficult to think of words/phrases that shifted the meaning of a image. thinking outside of our comfort zone was something that we don't do on a regular basis. but it was fun though.

  2. The group activity that we did in class was difficult at first but then when we had the second opporitunity to do it, it became more clear to us of what he was asking for. I thought it was a good activity to do becuase it made you think out of the box with the words and phrases.
