    What It Is? Lynda Barry Crop

    Lynda Barry seems to be saying that images are found both outside and inside of you and that you don’t ever completely understand these images. Referring to the image in the top left that I selected it shows how your eye sees what is outside of you and helps to store the images inside of you. Also, she is trying to convey the message of let kids be kids and don’t take away the wonder of being creative by giving them a hard time. Barry added the quote “Don’t be to hard on the kids,” because she’s trying to explain what she went through as a child and what can happen when you are too hard on a child for being creative. She also explains how every child has creativity until an event happens that makes them stop believing they are creative. She uses the word memory to reflect that everyone has a memory and somethings are hard to forget.

  2. I believe that Barry used a scrapbook technique to make up this book and then scanned the pages on her computer and edited with photoshop. For the images that I chose from a page in the book you can see the overlapping of paper. She has cut out different quotes and used different types of fonts to create a diverse feel. The media she uses to create the book are ink or in some places looks like sharpie, also she uses pen and clipped pieces of typed words. This relates to her message because creativity can be many different things, you can’t pinpoint art down to good and bad it’s more diverse just like the images I selected.
