2014: Gr 11: Art and Politics: Task 1: Creating your own Political Poster

Task 1: Create a political poster.



  • Create a figure and logo and slogans/target groups for your political party's campaign and place the images into the landscape your teacher has given you. 
  • You may alter to the words of the slogan but the campaign mood must stay the same.
  • This will be handed in at the end of the lesson.
3 people = 3 tasks, therefore 

1 persons task= creating the figure (You may use the mannequin method and tracing paper to create the figures)
1 persons task = creating the logo (you could use the stamp method)
1 persons task = adding words slogans/ people representing values.

You have 30 minutes to create the artwork and 10 mins to assemble the poster (collage)


Some previous points that made about how you present your leader were:

  • What social status and adornment would you add to your political leader to increase their public profile?  (e.g what blazer will they wear…)
  • Where would you place your leader?
  • What symbols/ logos would you use and how would you present them?
  • Who will be your figure head? Give reasons for your choice.
  • Decide who you will be targeting votes and how you will deceive your audience, i.e what visual clues will you use to ‘sell’ your leader.
