  1. Visual Scrapbook Your project for this unit will be to create a visual scrapbook. Do not complete any of the assignments until you have completed that section of visual literacy in class. Read the instructions for the pages of your scrapbook carefully. Title Page Assignment #1: Create a title page for your scrapbook. Your title page must have: (1) “Visual Scrapbook” as your title (2) your name (3) your class number (4) your teacher’s name (5) a cartoon you think is funny (6) an image of a photograph or painting you like (7) an image of your favorite movie or TV show

  2. Cartoon Page Assignment #2: Create a cartoon strip. Either create your own cartoon or find and use cartoon pictures and arrange them in your own way and write your own captions for it. Your original cartoon or rearranged cartoon should have: (1) 3 frames minimum in the strip (2) a title (3) images (consider facial expressions, body posture, setting, symbols, etc.) (4) speech or thought bubbles (5) devices (consider irony, contrast, pun, hyperbole, oxymoron, cliché, etc.) (5) a message - What are you suggesting or criticizing? (6) Below your cartoon, explain your choices. See example below this cartoon: I decided to write a cartoon that makes fun of how students are graded. The words in the last frame are a paradox. My message is that people worry too much about what grade or reward they will get in life. Cartoons On-line http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/ http://www.comics.com/comics/forbetter/ Assignment #3: Analyze a cartoon. Find a cartoon (see websites above) and answer the following questions completely: 1. Read the writing - caption, labels, dialogue. Identify any devices used. 2. Study the images - people (age, clothing, facial expression, what they are doing) - animals (symbolism?) - objects/things (symbolism?) - setting (where does this take place? why?) 3. Compare the writing and the images - is there any irony or contrast? 4. Ask yourself - is this a funny or humorous cartoon? Why or why not? 5. Summarize the cartoonist’s message. What is he suggesting or criticizing? Why? Of course, cut and paste the cartoon strip with the answers to these questions.

  3. Advertisement Page Assignment #4:Analyze an advertisement. Find an advertisement from a magazine, and answer the following questions: Cut and paste the ad in the scrapbook with your answers. 1. What is the first thing you would notice in the ad if you were flipping through a magazine? Would you stop flipping and look closer? Why or why not? 2. What is the product they are selling? Write out the main slogan. Identify the logo. 3. What do they emphasize about the product? 4. Who is the target audience? (gender? age? job? lifestyle? personality?) 5. What powers of persuasion are used in the advertisement? (Is there anything deceitful about this ad?) Assignment #5: Create an anti-ad. Find an advertisement (automobile, food, fashion, smoking, drinking,technology, video games, etc.). Imitate that ad by using similar techniques, including images, headlines, body copy, powers of persuasion, etc., but your new ad will be an “anti- ad” which means it will depict the realistic or opposite message of that ad. See the example below: For inspiration, consult: http://badvertising.org/gallery.html Be sure you paste the original ad in your scrapbook with your anti-ad.

  4. Photography Page Assignment #6:Analyze a photograph. Choose one of the photographs below and answer the PACES questions. Your teacher will show you a colored version of the photographs. You should cut out the picture below and paste it in your scrapbook with your PACES answers. • Assignment #7:Write an art journal. • Choose one of the ten photographs that your teacher gives you and write an art journal. Pretend that you are the photographer and you just took the photograph. Cut and paste that photograph in your scrapbook along with your journal. • Explain what you were thinking, feeling, seeing. • Explain what techniques you used when you took the photograph. (Remember, think PACES.) • Explain what your reactions to the photograph were when you saw it developed. • Explain what you hope people will learn from your photograph. • Read the example art essay about the 3 paintings on the next page.
