After having analysed several cartoons on "computers and virtual reality" in class, the students were asked to design a cartoon of their own ("Modern World") either alone or in small teams and, as a final step, to present it to the rest of the group.
They had to allow for the following criteria:
1. A cartoon is a drawing, usually in a newspaper or magazine and often with a comment (or caption) underneath it, which is funny and makes a political point or criticism,
2. a cartoon is a subgenre of satire and thus often makes use of devices such as
- exaggeration / distortion,
- irony / sarcasm,
- surprise,
- names with obvious connotations,
- a mixture of comedy and tragedy.
In the following, you may have a look at some of the results. We hope you'll like them.
