Individual Assessment: Visual Appropriation

Journal

1. What changes have you made?

I haven’t really changed anything. I have just wrote a paragraph explaining what the picture is about and the difference in it between the 1920’s to 2008.

2. Why? What does it tell us about changes in Australia?

The picture tells us that there is a Turkish person shooting another person on a cart who is trying to save someones life. But today, that wont happen because nobody uses guns and people have cars today, not carts.

3. What techniques have you used to reveal these changes (colour, modality, vectors, reading path, symbols, angles, shots, gaze)

I have not used any techniques to reveal the changes. Just writing a paragraph. Maybe symbols, angles, shots, and colour.

4. If you used a technique, why did you choose it? How is it effective in creating meaning?

I chose these techniques because if i didnt, i would not be able to explain what the picture is about.

1. What changes have you made?

I have changed the whole poem around. I have just simply changed the setting and i put a good rythem in. It still has the same: structure, same rytheme scheme and same ideas. I just made the poem for the year 2008 not 1960’s.

2. Why? What does it tell us about changes in Australia?

The peom that i chose is just talking about what happened on Australia Day and all the people that died on that day. So the changes are that we remember those people that died, on Australia Day, we remember them every year.

3. What techniques have you used to reveal these changes (metaphores, similes, personification, onomatopoeia)

I have used metaphores, similes and a rytheme pattern to reveal the changes from 1960’s-2008

4. If you used a technique, why did you choose it? How is it effective in creating meaning?

I choose to use the techniques because if you think about it, without any techniques, it wouldn’t really be a good poem. So that is why i chose the techniques. It is effective by making the poem more interesting and so more readers can look at it.
