Students will view several advertisements before breaking into groups to define culture, visual culture, and material culture. Then they will create a mixed media piece incorporating appropriation to express a way an advertisement has effected them.
Performance: "You are considering starting your own company! But first you need to know a little about advertising so you plan to apply to an advertisement program at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Instead of sending the admissions office just a standard resume or portfolio, you decide to create a mixed media piece of art to both highlight your creative skill and show the way advertising has affected you."
Students will explore multiple street artists and the impact they make in a community. Then they will work in groups of three to create a nondestructive piece of street art on campus expressing an intended message.
Performance: "You are an up and coming street artist! You want to use your increasing popularity to bring awareness to a social justice issue. You want to create a non-destructive (additive) street art piece to be viewed in a public place. In order to make your message clear to the public you can choose to utilize composition, text, and/or appropriation."
