Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino

Andrew Todd Marcus and James Addison

Instructions:

  1. Read Pages 5-6, and read FIVE different cities (each one is only ~2 pages). Feel free to read more!
  2. Create and write your own imagined city, giving it a name and short description. Your city could be based on a place you know, with added fantastical elements. Or you could dream up a blueprint entirely from imagination, giving life to the seemingly impossible.
  3. Create an illustration of the city you have written about. The choice of media is part of the creative process, you are free to use any material, any technology, any medium from simple illustrations of cities to paper collages to photographs. You cay create an atmospheric representations, a map, a scene, a building - whatever you wish.
