Rhetorical Art
In this unit we talked about how mayoral candidates use Rhetoric to convince people to vote for them. In this action project, we looked closely at rhetorical art that politicians use to present themselves or get a message across. We also learned about many different rhetorical devices that people use to get messages across to an audience. Some devices that we learned about are Alliteration, Assonance, Hyperbole, Metaphor, Antithesis, and more. In class, we started planning a People's Assembly to bring together different people in Chicago. In the People's Assembly we're talking about issues that are mainly being brought up by the mayoral candidates in Chicago. We had to write an invitation to our chosen candidate or an audience to convince them to come. Instead of posing as our candidate, this time we have to create art for them and the message they stand for. My candidate is Lori Lightfoot and she mostly talks about violence in Chicago. For one of our field experiences, we went to Marquette Park and looked at an art piece based on MLK and his work. Since he protested in that park, the community built a memorial for the Chicago Freedom Movement. The memorial represented MLK and anti-segregation. We looked at this as a rhetorical piece of art because it was for a certain audience. It was made for and by the community. It communicated anti-segregation and unity through the art. The art I created had a drawing of a gun and I used logic to demonstrate that the issue was important. I did that by providing statistics on the issue. I also used Allusion by referencing an event that occurred during 2016 when there were numerous shootings and killings. A lot of the shootings were done by police officers. My art piece goes against gun violence and spreads awareness. I am supporting one of Lori Lightfoot's reasons for running and routing for change. I also use Alliteration and Anaphora through my piece. I'm repeating the word "violence" a lot after each new sentence. I am also using similar vowel sounds like "Silenced" and "Violence".
