Political Cartoon & questions below
Self Critique Questions1. What is your message (what are you trying to say with your cartoon)?
The message I am trying to say is to not judge people by how they look like. 2. How does your cartoon communicate this message (how would a viewer know what your cartoon is about by looking at it)? It shows two different types of people who look and dress differently. One looks more professional than the other but they both have different thoughts. 3. How or where did you use caricature? How does caricature contribute to the meaning of your cartoon? I showed carciture by increasing the lip size on one of guy in the left guy and by increasing the head size on the right side. It contributes to the meaning by people directly seeing what is bigger and different proportions. 4. Do you think your cartoon is successful in conveying your message? Yes I think my cartoon is successful in showing my message. 5. What did you do well? I think I did well in picking how they look and how they dress. 6. What could you have done better? I think I could have showed more of a stereotypical "smart person" attributes to make it more sense and also add more "dumb" characteristics to the other. |
