Today's Lesson:
Friday September 20, 2019 Today you will learn more about Orange Shirt Day (http://www.orangeshirtday.org/) in honor of Residential School Survivors. Then, you will create a poster in venngage.com to raise awareness about the event and its intended purpose. For specific instructions for the poster, please find details in the Resource Folder. Simply go to the shared drive (located on the desktop), then select Resource Folder > Mrs. Lightman > Media Design 10 > Unit 1 > Orange Shirt Day Poster. The poster is due Thursday September 26th. Monday September 16, 2019 Create an infographic in venngage.com to visually describe two elements and one principle of your choice. An infographic allows you to use a mixture of images and text to provide information about a topic. Choose a template you like from the website and change all of the content to suit your purpose. Follow along in the example in class! Instructions: Choose two different elements you would like to represent in your infographic. Remember, the elements are:
Color
Shape
Line
Texture
Typography
Space
Value/Tone
For each of your elements provide the following in your infographic:
Definition (ex: what is color? **If you don’t use your own words, source your definition!!)
Examples: use at least three! (ex: Primary Colors, Secondary Colors, Monochromatic Etc.)
THEN, use your two chosen elements together to describe the proper use of a principle.
Pattern
Contrast
Emphasis
Balance
Proportion/Scale
Harmony
Rhythm/Movement
Again, include the definition of your principle then provide a visual and written information to show how your two elements come together to illustrate the principle.
