Your first book!

Your book should include :

    
  1. a nice cover
  2. an acknowledgement
  3. an index
  4. the text itself with pictures
  5. sources




  • The story should be based on your own autobiography.
  • The book should include different text types (narrative, descriptive),  fictional & non-fictional genres.
  • Pictures should be part of the text. 
  • Pieces of art (real or ficticious) should be part of the plot. (see Detective A. Pintura for examples/inspiration)
  • You can include descriptions of these pictures (go back to your own descriptions of pieces of art and the tips discussed in class)
  • Include specific vocabulary from your own art encyclopaedias.
  • Generate a specific  atmosphere (go back to "Gothic Literature" lessons).
  • Include appropriate tenses, adjectives, nouns in your narration (see notes from Narratives seen in class)

ART TIPS: 

  1. create an ANDY WARHOL with your self portrait. Go to PHOTOVISI templates.
  2. Go to PSYKOPAINT AND PAINT YOUR OWN photos like Picasso, Seurat, Manet, among many others!
