Special Topics Presentation: Elementary Education










The relation of each graphic to our topic is explained in the caption accompanying each image. Each graphic was created/compiled using Photoshop and PowerPoint by my group member April and myself. In terms of connotation, our graphics convey how just graphics can be used to show meaning without text. The only text is from our powerpoint presentation to our class members and is not part of the graphics themselves. For this purpose, the components of our graphics tie into this theme that visuals can be used to help students learn content and gain understanding. Color echo is used to to show meaning as well between our brief text and graphics. In terms of attributes, line work has different definition in various visuals. For example, in the scientist graphic, the lines are blurred because the perceptions children have of them are blurred. The visual of the word "create" has sharp lines so the word can be easily distinguished. Color schemes within our elements also fit together, but it may have been nice to have some common color elements between all 10 of our graphics. In terms of placement, alignment principles were followed (not including the brief descriptions on our powerpoint presentation and not part of our actual graphics.
