Grade 10 Art - Day 70: "Artistic Conventions: Visual Metaphor"

source:plasticenglish.files.wordpress.com

A visual metaphor uses images rather than words to create a comparison.  In the image above, the world is compared to an ice cream cone that is melting.  The result is to focus our attention on global warming and climate change.

Today we will work with a lesson plan that was created by artsalive.ca and can be found at http://www.artsalive.ca/collections/posters/pdf/en/ArtsAlive_visualmetaphor_e.pdf. I will distribute this handout to you and we will work our way through it together!
