Dunywa - New Media and Stereotypes

But is this Art? 

This question is often overheard in a gallery showing New Media like Performance Art.

Use your analysis skills to answer this.

Look at the presentation if necessary. Remember - my opinions are not 'right' - they are just mine!

Prezi question - stereotypes

I had to find out if a Prezi infographic can have sound added to it!
Apparently YES, but it sounds quite complicated.
Let me know if you manage it by sharing your Prezi with me.

Stereotypes - illustrations

For the Grade 9s .............

Illustrations from 'The Legend of the Sky Kingdom'

Can you identify the components of the characters?

Stereotypes - FDR Memorial .

Look at this famous sculpture and then make an infographic as suggested  below ...

The F.D.R. Memorial is a socio-political comment on the reforms of F.D. Roosevelt - an American president between 1933 -1945

Artist –  George Segal

The figures are probably made of painted bronze - not plaster of Paris.

The text reads .........

‘The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.’

Construct 7 chunks identifying 5 of the visual clues seen in the work. Put the picture (with data) in the middle.

What could each clue mean? (5 chunks)
How does the meaning in general relate to the written  message? (1 chunk)
How does this sculpture relate to our own South African Millenium goals? (What are these????) (1 chunk)

Put these on a poster with the picture and information.
This is called an 'Infographic'. 
You may do this as a Prezi or in Evernote. Don't forget to 'share' this with me as an e-mail.

This infographic is worth 10 marks. 

Additional link to the actual monument building - this gives an idea of how Segal's sculpture was translated into a public monument. Segal originated both the "Rural Couple' and the 'Breadline' to go with the quote.
