Attention: This is your new blog assignment. To post your paragraphs, just like before, click on the comment link below this post. As always, keep it clean and academic. Please notice there are two parts to this assignment.

Please pay close attention to the following directions (you may want to print them):

For this blog, you will be analyzing visual rhetoric. I will begin the blog with a visual that I will post. The first person to post after I have submitted the visual will analyze the visual with the following guidelines and then post their own image:

Your post will have three parts: (don’t forget to put the title of the image you are analyzing in the subject of your post)

·        Using your analysis sheets that were given in class, break down the visual and describe at least 3 strategies (Object, Lighting, Angle, Body language, Linguistic Features, etc.)   used by the artist, photographer, or cartoonist.  For every strategy, list the effect.

For example:  The artist juxtaposes the images from the window with those seen on the T.V. (strategy) in order to capitalize on the contrast between nature and technology.

·        Next, using the rhetorical frame work, list the following: Exigence, Audience, and Purpose. List the appeals used as well: Ethos, Logos, Pathos.

·        Finally, make a cogent statement about what argument/message the artist, photographer, or cartoonist is making.

After you have published your analysis of the visual that was last posted, you must find a visual and immediately post it to the blog so the next person can begin their analysis.  ******Find your visual before you begin your analysis. Post it immediately after your analysis. Include your name, a link to the image, and the title of the image.  Failure to post an image will result in a zero on the blog assignment. You may only analyze the image you find when you log into the blog. You may not choose another image. You may post an advertisement, a piece of art, a photograph, or a political cartoon. Please mix it up! Email me with any questions and good luck!


**************You will have to post a link to the photos etc.  It willn not allow you to post an image directly in.
