Goal: You will
choose a political, psychological, fantastical, or other type of theme to
create a surreal collage using a variety of images from magazines, books,
assigned websites, clip art, online and offline flyers or advertisements, menus
and more.
Role:
You will be
exploring the world of Surrealism and its amazing artists and what it all means
to you. You will be a surreal detective
that will eventually communicate a surreal artwork of your own in the form of a
collage.
Audience: Classmates,
schoolmates, and the general public (parents, teachers, administration, and
ceremony attendees) and Artsonia (http://www.artsonia.com/) members will be your intended
audience.
Situation: You
will be investigating Surrealism and how it relates to you and/or situations
today (Hunger, Global Warming, Economy, etc.). This is your chance to visualize a fantasy,
dream, solution and share it how you see it.
You will use Photoshop and other software to distort, combine and/or
change images as you see fit to your theme or message.
Performance: Your
findings and collage will be displayed and presented to your audience by form
of PowerPoint presentation, flyer, report, or poster. You will also listen (read) and respond to
constructive critique and answer appropriate questions from your peers,
teacher(s), Artsonia members, parents and/or
visitors.
Standard: You
will utilize a process rubric that will help you communicate and create your
best work possible. Your collage, presentation and critique responses will be
evaluated using a self-evaluation rubric and peer group evaluation rubric.
