Task: You are a cartoonist for a London newspaper during the Industrial Revolution and feel troubled by the different problems that are happening as a result of this “revolution.” Your newspaper editor has asked you to create two political cartoons (cartoons that convey a message in humorous and/or thought-provoking ways) that highlights a condition or problem associated with the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain.

Some problems you may choose to illustrate are:  the pollution of the air  the hierarchy of social classes  the dangerous conditions in the factories  the crowded living conditions  Reforms/Laws/Unions (see “An Age of Reform” outline.  Remember: Cartoons should combine both drawings and text

Analogy Analogy draws on a rich pool of historical, literary, and cultural references to create a fantasy setting or situation which relates in some way to reality. The similarity forces the viewer to think about the situation in a new way.

Words Cartoons usually have titles or captions, and sometimes they have name tags, balloon comments or dialogue.

Signs Road signs, warning signs, informational signs. Abstract + = ÷×≠®™ Facial expressions, gestures, attitude and position of body, also used to convey messages. They all emphasize ideas and convey emotions.

Stereotypes A stereotype is an oversimplified mental picture of characteristics supposedly shared by many people in a group. Stereotypes may be unfair and insulting to the group they represent!

Size Size is frequently used by cartoonists to draw attention to a particular figure in the cartoon or to emphasize status or power.

Shading Another visual device used by cartoonists is shading. The dark figures represent the ‘bad’ guys, and the light figures the ‘good’ guys. How is shading used here?
