THE LANGUAGE OF EDITORIAL CARTOONS
DVD, guide
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Artist and journalist John Kovalic hosts this fascinating look at political cartoons.
He shows both historical and contemporary examples to explain how cartoonists employ humor, satire, caricature, and emotion to “speak” to vital issues like Desert Storm or the riots in Los Angeles. Stressing ideas over artistic ability, Kovalic motivates students to express themselves by creating their own cartoons. The teacher’s guide includes a readiness activity, follow-up lessons, and reproducible activities.
Quantities are limited.
