Memento mori is a Latin phrase translated as "Remember your mortality", "Remember you must die" or "Remember you will die." It refers to a genre of artworks that vary widely but which all share the same purpose: to remind people of their mortality, an artistic theme dating back to antiquity. If you have time, Google the phrase and look at some of the images that come up. This idea is represented in so much art and literature and we all face those times in our lives when we are reminded of our evanescence. I thought it would be cool to make a tryptic of ATCs exploring this idea. You will have one partner and you will make three ATCs for him/her. One ATC will focus on life, one ATC will focus on death, and the third will focus on time. The ATCs should have element of uniformity to show that they are a set, perhaps the same background or a similar embellishement, you be the judge. Also make sure your ATCs are on sturdy backing. I have grown weary of flimsy ATCs. Make sure these are your best work and let us package them beautifully so they are a delight to open. |
