Today, we discussed the exam you will write tomorrow. Basically, we went over the symbols sheet you answered and then discussed visual analysis. I ended up photocopying the symbolism answers (if you weren't here, they are in your portfolio.
In our discussion about approaching visuals, whether in English or Social, we came up with the following "attack" plan:
1. Wrtie down what you see - specifically. This includes all of the five ws, as well as angles, lighting and colours.
2. Based on what you have written, determine what it could mean. It is at this point that you also look for symbols. Here is where you will also come up with similes, look at juxtapositions, use disclaimer words.
3. based on all this, you should be able to establish a thesis (the point the image is supposed to get across as a whole).
