Find the “opposite” of your original image's subject. For example, what is the opposite of a landscape? Find 2-3 images. Juxtapose these against your starting point. What happens?

Find an image that has a similar subject to your initial starting point, with a contrasting art element (line, space, colour, shape, texture, form, etc.). For example, if you are starting with a spacious landscape image of an agricultural area on a bright sunny day, which element could be contrasted? Find an image to juxtapose your starting point. What do you notice?

What is your understanding of the meaning behind your selected image? How might your image be interpretted by others? Consider cultural, personal, political, or social interpretations that might vary for people from varying contexts. Juxtapose your original image with one image that challenges contextual perspectives. Analyze the new meanings that are produced through this contrast.

What is the history of your image? Conduct some light research to pair and contrast this with image from an alternative historical perspective. What interpretations might an outsider perceive through this combination?

After exploring the above prompts, try to discover some other juxtapositions on your own terms and through your own questions. Some additional juxtapositions could include:

Past vs. Present

Stillness vs. Movement

Contrasts in mood/atmosphere

Contrasts in art materials or techniques
