Visual Rhetoric - Molly Bang

Directions: Using only scissors, glue, and multi-colored construction paper or the Paint program on a computer, represent a situation that evokes a strong emotion. For example, snake(s), shark(s), rat(s), spider(s) attacking a victim [fear, danger]; a parent and child [love, happiness]; people dancing [joy]; a child giving food to animal(s) [love, friendship, kindness]; a person trapped in a cage/dungeon/flaming forest [fear, danger]; a person triumphant upon conquering a bear/finny/mountain [joy, happiness].

Use Molly Bang's principles on building a picture that we discussed using her book, Picture This: How Pictures Work. Remember that you are only creating an image using shapes and different colors. Do not include fine details, lines, dots, etc. You will be briefly presenting your picture in class on the day due. If you do not have color ink to print your image out, make sure you email it to me well before class so I can bring it up on the overhead projector.
