Each year in the Media Literacy class, students engage in art making to explore and critically respond to different forms of digital and mass media. In the Spoof Ad project, students apply their knowledge of photoshop skills to express conceptual strategies and critical theories in media literacy. Students use photography, digital collage and text to respond to the manipulation of print media. Using Olivia Gude’s Postmodern Principles as inspiration, students use juxtaposition, appropriation, layering, and interaction of text and image to communicate a desired visual message in response to and resistance of the identified ad campaign / issue.
