Art & Politics for Grade 11s

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

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

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

• Basic data & context of the 'message' - makes a good introduction .....
• Symbolism / meaning / messages of the most obvious images that help convey the message
• Most important elements and principles that help convey the message
• Characteristics of a Neo-classical work shown here..
• Your opinion of the success of this painting. Would something like this work TODAY? This would make a good conclusion .......

An infographic should have at least 2 illustrations and 300 words (in full sentences) clearly divided into the above chunks. It may be on an A3 card, a double A4 or be digital (a Google Slide show shared with studio@dghs.co.za) 
Don't use bulleted lists and keywords because this has to end up as a mini-essay for exams.
