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.
Here is the beginning of blog # 2 for the 5th 6 weeks.

The cartoonist uses objects (the vulture) to portray fear into the people in the cartoon, in addtion vulture eats dead things so the cartoonist also can make the poor people in cartoon symbolize dead or injured animals and the vulture is coming to finish the job of destroying them. Continuing the cartoonist uses size, he makes the vulture huge compared to the people. This symbolizes that wall street is larger than the lower class people, wall street has a bigger role in society. Furthermore, the postion of the vulture lingering over the activist, portrays power of wall street over the lower class, poor people.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoonist exigence is the labor union protest of low wages and lack of jobs for the people. His audience is wall street people and factory and common workers. His purpose is to show that wall street does not really care about meeting the needs of the people concerning their jobs and fair treament. This cartoon is heavily doused in pathos, he is feeding of the citizens emotions about the lack of involvment in labor conditons. There is also a bit logos from the actions of the wall street business people.
The cartoonist argument is that the wall street business people are not out for the greater good of the people, there are really like vultures waiting on you to get in debt nd fail and come for your leftovers (money) what little of it that you have left.

DeleteThe photographer uses the small child to possibly show renewal in the photo. Also the flag that child is holdin can possibly symbolize is that we need to keep our heads high or to show patriotism. In the background appears to be something bad going on like a natural disaster and people are picking everything up.
DeleteThe photographers exigence is possibly to show that there is still hope.The audience is the people of the United States. The purpose of this photo is possibly to show hope. The small child also adds an emotional appeal to the viewers so that they may feel sorry.
the photographers argument is to show that there is still hope.

DeleteThe artist uses Darth Vader to portray the "Dark Side" if republican politics. The name on Darth Vader says Rove politics to demonstrate John McCain's views and practices of his republican out look. This Image is to show where McCain's traditional republican views sprout from a negative root. The artist exigence Is the publication of John McCain's book.
ReplyDeleteAlso the object in baby McCain's hand its McCain's book faith of my fathers, which is to show the authors exigence.(left this out)

(sorry I keep leaving stuff out) The audience is the individuals who read McCain's book. The authors argument is to show the underlined basis of McCain's book.
Deletethe cartoonist uses the portrayal of the popular icon Darth Vader to illustrate the popular scene where he says i am your father to relate it to a book john McCain has written. this shows that his "father" is rove politics which basically is referring to Karl Rove a republican who's been involved in many shady scandals to show that he is not going back to early founding fathers but merely to the status qua republicanism. next he uses the childlike portrayal of McCain to show is naivete and to parody him as a child whom cannot make his own choices so rather he follows whatever he is told to do like a child. next he uses the small size of McCain to show that he is not the problem but rather a small piece of the problem and easily quite a few other republicans could easily fit into his lap or aka the lap of corruption. lastly he uses the linguistic aspects of texts to show what the pictures could not aiding his argument with specific examples.
ReplyDeletethe cartoonists exigence was the release of McCain book, and how he perceives it as false motives. he uses logic by showing his ties to the shadier sides of republican politics and he uses emotion by showing how the evil Darth Vader is controlling him without his knowledge . - Gus Gygi -4

ReplyDeleteThis cartoonist depicts the dictator of North Korea with a map and a picture of Dennis Rodman. The card with Dennis Rodman shows the absurdity in Rodman's belief that kim jong-il only wants love, and that he is not really a bad guy. The map depicts the USA in yellow (to show that America is bright, joyful) and is titled "Targeted for Nuclear Destruction," which shows the intentions of North Korea to send missiles to the United States. The dictator, dressed in black (represents dark intentions, no innocence), is pictured saying "except california..." to make fun of Rodman's initial statement. Altogether, The cartoonist portrayed the silliness in the whole subject of North Korea sending missles to the USA and the fact that Rodman believes the dictator is no threat. This is shown through the cartoonist's use of these specific objects, and colors.

ReplyDeleteThe cartoonist contrasts North Korea with South Korea. depicts North Korea as relying on military to fight their wars. They depict South Korea as relying on technology. I believ that they are trying to say that South Korea is far more technologically advanced than North Korea. The cartoonist drew South Korea as run by a tank full of technology. He contrasts this by drawing North Korea run by a normal tank with a human in it. I think that the author is trying to make their audience see how much more advanced South Korea is than North Korea.
