(Because of the fish hooks are so subtly integrated into this portrait, I know this man is a fisherman)
Illustrate a Candidate
Each student will paint the portrait of a political candidate running in the 2012 election. We will draw from a hat, the name of all the people running for office on the federal and the state levels. Each student will then have to research this candidate with the help of Eli and work you do in American Government. Find out about their political platform and from that pool deciding their stand on a policy, choose one that speaks to you, and will truly represent what this politician stands for. The objective is to reveal that issue or belief and incorporate it into an illustrated portrait. The inclusion of this political element should be used in either a sophisticated and subtle manner, in a brash and out-spoken burst, or anywhere in between, keeping the level and complexity of the issue in mind. The portrait should reflect the character and essence behind the issue. Chose to be dignified, or choose to be abrasive, but incorporate into the illustration a single position that might define this candidate’s platform.
This project will be a painting on panel. All the same size, to be displayed along with other political information on the night of Eli’s, “Voter Information Night”, where local candidates are expected to appear at HTHI to speak their positions in this coming election. This night is for parents and the community to assemble to look over the issues, hear the rhetoric and read the breakdowns that these seniors will provide for the education of this voting public. The portrait images should be a catching element to all the textual information that will be provided.
