Hi Lori et al,
Some ideas or part-ideas.
All are prose or poetry...
Travel incorporating six global landmarks or six cities or six countries etc.
That idea can be extended:
Six plants / animals / rivers / famous historical characters / chemicals ' metals / Trees etc etc.
And six is only a suggestion - easy ones could be more; hard ones fewer.
And the six don't always have to be prescribed - writers could provide their own six (but with web-links to any obscure ones). This would set us all researching and Googling - important tools for writers.
EG:
==============================================
Pandora for Month X, 2005...
Write a work about travelling around the world. Chaos element: incorporate six rivers, each from a different country. Please provide web-links to info about any lesser-known rivers - or just keep them all very famous!
================================================
The other ideas could be incorporated in similar ways...
You're travelling in Australia. Write a work, incorporating six distinctly Australian animals. Please provide web-links to info about any lesser-known animals - or just keep them all famous!
================================================
================================================
Another idea: write about your favourite poet / writer / painter / composer / musicians...
Six different artists or four different works by one artist.
Web links to obscure parts please.
==================================================
You've been asked to commission a picture to please your employer
Chaos: Write about how four different artists would approach it.
etc.
always poetry or prose - All these can be made into any format. Three (ojk poor and qvery quick) egs:
Poetry
Mist swirled around half-hidden ships; Turner moulded colours and light upon their bows; waves jumping out to turn us sea-sick from the sight.
Prose - Factual
JMW Turner is the foremost painter in terms of melding the colours of light to produce realistic effects from unrealistic brush-work. His ship paintings use "wrong" colours often but the result is both wonderful and stunningly realistic.
Prose - Fiction
Turner was in his studio one day when the Martians arrived. They brought him pigments unknown on Earth - deep Ghongo from Neptune, Ultra-Red from Mars itself and, most precious, Pluto Purple Plotz - a colouring so lusterous and delicious that man would nearly kill for Turner's paintigs.
=====================================
Any use, Lori?
Remember six almost anything can fit these parameters - and six is not set in stone, either.
James.
