Second Group: May 17
Project Requirements:Within this project, students will explore the relationships between the arts, social commentary and very popular memes. You will make efforts to increase your understanding of the significant role that some artists choose to play in raising public awareness about global concerns such as the environment and our climate crisis, sustainability, human rights, politics and social values. The over-arching goal is to explore this relationship in your own work, and to incorporate social commentary into art projects.
Pre-test questions: 1. Describe the meaning of the word "social". 2. Describe the meaning of the word "Commentary". 3. What is a meme? *When checking in, write the answers to these three introductory questions. Objective: Students will create through photography, Photoshop and Indesign a meme and connect the message to the visual. They will convey an opinion and belief about a social and/or global concern through visual and text. Expectations: 1. Use Impact Font, White fill with a Black Stroke. 2. Visual must support the text. 3. Using someone else's meme and claiming it as your own is a big No-No. 4. It has to address a social issue and be an original comment made by you. 5. Place on website once completed with 2-3 sentences describing the social issue presented and your opinions on why this is important to change. |
