Grade 11 Art & Politics

For my Grade 11's ...........
We will start by looking at this Matric theme by going back in time.

• Watch the DVD - The Art of Persuasion    Link to BBC

• Now let's look at a presentation showing how this power of art has impacted on the human race in the Neo-Classical and Romantic eras.

The Oath of Horatii by Jacques-Louis David   1784 (1792 = French Revolution)

Create your first 'infographic' of the year by analyzing the above painting using these chunks:-

• Basic data 
• Context of the 'message'
• Meaning / messages
• Most obvious images that help convey the message
• Most important elements and principles that help convey the message
• Your opinion of the success of this painting. Would something like this work TODAY?

An infographic should have at least 2 illustrations and 300 words clearly divided into the above chunks. It may be on an A3 card, a double A4 or be digital (shared with studio@dghs.co.za)
