Discussion – Communication Appeals
Context: In thinking about communication, we use these appeals in many contexts. When we talk to people we are judging their credibility (and they are judging ours) based on the way we speak, the words we use, the tone of our voice and the way we dress among other things. Consider that we do the same thing when we listen to a song on the radio or look at a painting or watch a video. We make judgements based on imagery and color- tone and pitch.
Description: For this assignment, post a painting or picture (or copy of) that speaks to you. Consider the appeals you think it makes to you and other persons viewing it, as we considered in the Frida Kahlo painting. Be prepared to share with the class the following information:
Discussion – Communication Appeals. A link to the piece, and why you chose it. The background of the piece (author- painter’s info – a blurb about the piece). What you think the piece communicates (sadness-history-joy-contemplation). If your piece was to be judged as a speech, would it be argumentative? Persuasive? Informative?
Delivery: This post will be due Wednesday at midnight. Points will be deducted for not answering all parts of the questions.
