Please pay close attention
to the following directions (you may want to print them):
For this
blog, you will be analyzing visual rhetoric. I will begin the blog with a
visual that I will post. The first person to post after I have submitted the
visual will analyze the visual with the following guidelines and then post
their own image:
Your post will have three parts: (don’t forget to put the title of the
image you are analyzing in the subject of your post)
·
Using your analysis sheets that were given in class, break down the
visual and describe at least 3 strategies (Object, Lighting, Angle, Body
language, Linguistic Features, etc.) used by the artist, photographer, or
cartoonist. For every strategy, list the
effect.
For example: The artist
juxtaposes the images from the window with those seen on the T.V. (strategy) in
order to capitalize on the contrast between nature and technology.
·
Next, using the rhetorical frame work, list the following: Exigence,
Audience, and Purpose. List the appeals used as well: Ethos, Logos, Pathos.
·
Finally, make a cogent statement about what argument/message the
artist, photographer, or cartoonist is making.
After you
have published your analysis of the visual that was last posted, you must find
a visual and immediately post it to the blog so the next person can begin their
analysis. ******Find your visual before
you begin your analysis. Post it immediately after your analysis. Include your
name, a link to the image, and the title of the image. Failure to post an
image will result in a zero on the blog assignment. You may only analyze
the image you find when you log into the blog. You may not choose another image. You may post an advertisement, a piece of art, a
photograph, or a political cartoon. Please mix it up! Email me with any
questions and good luck!
**************You will have to post a link to the photos etc. It willn not allow you to post an image directly in.
