Beneath
the Rose (Idea)
For my visual rhetoric
project about how science and romanticism go hand in hand, I will make a
symbolic rose that will serve as a metaphor for what I am trying to convey. The
rose will be made out of red, white, and green construction paper and inside
will include romantic writing. My plan is to make a white rose and on it I will
inscribe Romantic writing, whether it will be a poem or short story I’m not
sure, and around it I will place red petals “peeling” off. This is to symbolize
the scientific aspect of my paper because roses are usually seen as red but
with the red being peeled off, the Romantic literature part becomes present
making them one in the same. My goal is for the viewers to get that science has
an underlying Romantic literary aspect and that you can find it anywhere.
I feel lke if you just leave the poems or short story (the literary part) peaple might not make the connection between science and nature(described by liturature). But still. I like the idea, what if you make the stem have the same concept as the petals execept you put scientific equations. It will ad to how sceince supports the beauty of nature. Then it will really be the underline factor to nature.
