SEMESTER PROJECT IDEA BOOK


IDEA BOOK




My semester project is to create an idea book, It is s a journal that is established to bring together three themes; today’s media, a social work perspective with an artistic twist. These three themes have all influenced my life in one way or another, I feel as if this would be a good project for young adolescents from ages 13 - 24 . It focuses on today’s social problems through media and through social work aspect it will help students stay focused on their goals. In an artistic aspect, it will help students express the way they feel that social problems they face every day in a expressive way.

           SHORT CLIP : I-Color: School and Racism
Virtual Idea book : IDEA book
Lecture Topic : Discrimination 
  • What is discrimination?
  • How does it affect us on a daily basis? (Discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race) 
  • We will watch a two minute clip and discuss how we are affected by discrimination in our everyday lives. 
  • As for the social work aspect students are to introduce themselves to their book.
  •  On three separate pages will discuss ideas /beliefs, values, and passions. 
  •  define vocabulary 
  •  have at least three different ideas /beliefs, values, and passions on each page
Decorating your book is where your artistic side comes; students are required to have their name on the cover.When it comes to the artistic aspect based on the lecture given in class the students are to create a drawing, poem or song to express their opinions on the topic.When using images through collages, sketches, comic strips, and colors to convey the mood of your ideal piece. Be sure to express yourself to the fullest this is your journal!
