Public Document
Public Document - Calista Kelly
After exploring and analyzing various visual texts, I gave my students the opportunity to compose their own visual compositions in the “Public Document” project. Providing them with a sense of purpose and a context, I encouraged and challenged my students to take what they learned about visual compositions to compose their own visual compositions for an organization on campus. I used a number of websites to show my students physical examples of different kinds of visual compositions: (1) a website-www.avodah.net, (2) Sarah Mclachlan’s Youtube video “World on Fire”, and a number of advertisements/posters from the ICaP Technical Mentoring website www.digitalparlor.org/mentor.
