Political Cartoon: English Monarchs
Political cartoons often use visual metaphors and caricatures to explain complicated political situations, and thus sum up an event with a humorous or emotional picture that reflects the political situation or event. The combination of picture and caption can be used as satire or to express ones opinion about the event.
In this assignment you are to create a political cartoon for one of the Kings or Queens of England that we learned about in class. To create your cartoon select a king or queen and decided what event from their lives you want to capture. Then create a cartoon using symbolism, metaphors or caricatures to explain the event. Remember your cartoon should not be a true representation of what happened, do not simply draw the events as they occurred. You will be graded on your idea, not your drawing skill. Requirements:
