I drew my inspiration from the paintings at the Rubin Museum that showed the various stages of the Buddha’s Life. I always wondered what it would be like if someone cataloged your life for you. So I decided to do it for myself; however, it’s in the span of one day, not many years.

In the video I using the painting about the life story of Prince Selchog. In the story the Prince goes on a journey to find Tonpa Shenrab, but the Prince encounters a lot of difficulty along the way. However, the Prince is saved by Tonpa Shenrab’s followers and practices Tonpa Shenrab’s teachings. I relates the artwork to my narrative about Black Friday and in my narrative I mentioned the difficulties I experienced to get to best buy and how my luck eventually changed for the better. Moreover, I was fascinated by the colors used in the artwork and I worked that into my narrative when I described the colors and lights I see outside of my window.

Now that you have a better sense of what you want to make, it’s time to get to work making it. Your final piece will be a 5 minute video or podcast that creatively presents a personal narrative and connects somehow to the work you chose from the Rubin Museum’s exhibit, Once Upon Many Times. Put time, thought, and effort into the project every day and you will have time to develop your vision and ideas. Have fun, take risks, try something new, surprise us. Final work due 11/30.
