FISK scholars are taking POP ART to a new level! Inspired by what Hampton artists created with their self portraits, FISK is going to explore one of many links that art has to ELA through portraiture.
Notice the use of ONOMATOPEE in his work, especially his comic book enlargements.

7th Grade FAMU Artists
We begin this quarter with a little inspiration from the world of current events, specifically social action and issues that affect our lives. Scholars watched a video and inevitably made assumptions about the young man in it. HOMEWORK: Think about what social action issues you are interested in...what do you care about? Here are some ideas:
Environmental issues, racial equality, stereotyping, bullying, hate crimes
We will talk / brainstorm about this more in class.
The project: Social Action Poster with text (words) designed by you! Think about the social issue in TEXT and PICTURES.
HOMEWORK: Think about the social issue in TEXT and PICTURES. Come prepared with the ITEMS LISTED AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE and see you in class.
