Drawn Together Workshop (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4)
Are you looking for an introduction to examining visual media? Hook your students into exploring Federation and contemporary issues through cartooning!
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
In this free digital workshop, your students will discuss the techniques used by cartoonists, practice their visual analysis skills and learn about the role of political cartoons as an example of media in our democracy. Your students will become cartoonists and create a collaborative drawing with the MoAD Learning team, and develop their media literacy and critical thinking skills. They will design their own cartoon to investigate how they can have a say on issues that are important to them.
The workshop uses accessible cartoons from MoAD’s Behind the Lines exhibition and exclusive content from one of Australia’s leading cartoonists.
The Program:
- develops civic literacy by visiting special places in the building
explores the role of the media in our democracy
builds media literacy skills by examining current political cartoons for techniques and meaning
develops visual analysis and media literacy skills using contemporary cartoons and exclusive content - facilitates rich discussion around leadership and ways to make positive change
uses collaborative construction to develop media creation skills
involves students in interactive and engaging learning activities
explores students’ rights and responsibilities in our democracy
The development of the Drawn Together Digital Workshop has been guided by the Media Literacy Framework for Australia. MoAD is a proud partner of the Australian Media Literacy Alliance.
A post-visit resource pack is provided after your digital workshop.
