ReplyDeleteYour example shows a very direct approach to the elements of design. I cannot pinpoint a specific social issue or postmodern concern tied to this book. Maybe my brain is just broken from a busy week. Your directions are very clear and concise, which would lead to an easy execution of the assignment by your students. The practice of tying meaning and image, as you did with your illustrative words, is visually and mentally compelling. Perhaps a future example might include issues of body image in a high school setting, exploring words such as "weight" or "beauty."
I agree with g. sia! You have created a strong link between text and image that effectively demonstrate your ideas. Asking students to focus on words that students feel a personal connection to would definitely have interesting results, and have students thinking about identity.
ReplyDeleteYour accordion book is a great way to teach the post modern principles. Utilization of all the post modern principles is a sure way for students to understand them. However, I do agree with g.sia- it is a very direct approach. If they were able to relate the book to themselves in some way like Gina suggested, they would be able to make it their own.
