I combined Christian elements (a cross, a halo, angel wings, and the flaming sward said to guard the Garden of Eden) with the not-so-Christian element of an assassin from the popular video game Assassin’s Creed. I decided to repeat the arrows heading towards the man on the cross to amplify the heroic qualities of the image. The multitude of arrows shows that the man is facing a large force all by himself. I did omit the army from the scene, though, to draw focus to the man on the cross. I decided to draw the cross on a large scale to emphasize the Christian elements of the image. By combing these elements, I transformed the images into a morally contradictory work, completely changing the drawings meaning.”

So this could be a new way of dishonoring someone without really slandering their name and such.”

Editor's Notes
- #4: Imperfectmetacognition
- #11: Larger problem of representation, composition, consistency, and communication
- #13: Background knowledge
- #17: The production in this case, an activity used at the start of a course, is focused on creating narratives. These narratives help students to to understand how images work in conjunction with one another to create narratives. They are also used as a reference point to help students develop meaningful interpretations in their interpretive and production work. Since narratives generally emerge from conflict, students write about the ways the images compare and contrast. Students also include popular culture references, which helps me further place student’s background knowledge. This combined organizer, however, is less visually appealing. Yet the narrative comes about, we see, from a background knowledge that includes 1. the Great Depression, 2. Child Labor Laws, and 3. Symbolic knowledge that has the hamburger representing a “full appetite” and the boy as a symbol of “poverty” and “lack of food”Clearly this student’s capacities for narratives creation are more advanced, and production and interpretation goals for this student needed to be more challenging to meet developmental needs. Provides a reason to at least be grading for concept knowledge and craftsmanship separatelyHowever, this example is on the surface successful. The elements of the organizer highlight a few things about the student, and where this student lies relative to the chart (from the previous slide). Not only is the narrative simple, but the compare/contrast and popular culture points reveal little background knowledge about alligators and dogs!
- #21: Group Thinking
- #22: Great opportunity to integrate with other areas – students plot-lined a story around that conflict. Elaboration and flexibility because the grouping provides a new set of problemsCan the kids articulate them? Use the kids definition of the problem in a rubric!
- #25: This is important knowledge for meeting young people where they’re at and for scaffolding them through lessons designed to be in their zone of proximal developmentThese categories are based on a synthesis of developmental theories from art and reading and include researchers such as Solso, Parsons, Housen, Bloom, Kintsch, Gardner, Darras, Kindler, and Lowenfeld
- #26: Production on left, interpretation on right
- #27: The Chinese oven problem
- #31: Inversion or Rotation are subsets of RearrangementEasily identifiableAlready using it in drawing instruction, but now connecting it to meaning making.
- #32: Visual culture art education promotes the idea of a cultural critique, a highly creative act in which students are reflective enough about shared narratives to begin to question them.
