This year we are going to look at media to become aware and socially conscious. Looking at websites, watching movies and TV, talking on cell phones is not enough! Don't let the technology put you to sleep! We need to take control and start sending our own messages- our own product out! The best way we can do that is if we understand the media that we are using (or being used by)!
The materials that you will need for this are as follows:- USB memory stick (1 gig minimum)
- a notebook with lined and/or blank (whatever you are most comfortable with)
- pens, pencils, markers, colour pencils- anything that can make marks
- have internet access!
- glue stick
This course has not only your media awareness component but is also where you will create/produce the
integrated project! This is a self-motivated, self disciplined, independently created work. You have the whole year to do it- will it be enough?!?
Oh- and did I mention that we're going to have fun?
First assignment (week of: September 1-4):- find at least one media image
- create your own blog and become a "follower" of this one (that way I can link back to yours and see it)
- Post your first response (by Monday, Sept 7th)
