Social Issues & Messages
Social Issues & Messages
Social issues are matters that directly or indirectly affect many or all members of a society and are considered to be problems, controversies related to moral values, or both.
Social messages are works of art, music, film or text that highlight a social issue with an intention to draw attention to it and help resolve the issue.
Examples…
Making a Social Issue a Social Message…
Objective:• think about social issues that affect our
community or the world• learn how to use photography as a resource
for solving these problems• research social issues and consider how they
affect you and society• study and analyze artwork that uses a social
message • create your own original work of art with a
social message
In your sketchbook…1. Compile a list of social issues that exist locally
or in the world. You should include at least
TEN different issues in your list.
2. Choose the top THREE issues you would like
to consider as part of your project. Circle
them within your list from above.
In your sketchbook…3. Find FIVE examples of photographs portraying
the top three issues you chose
• Save them, print them, and tape or glue
them into your sketchbook
• Your examples could be simple
photographs or graphic designs, such as
posters, ads, etc.
In your sketchbook…4. Brainstorm ideas for your own photographs.
• think about different things you would
need to take pictures of
• where you would need to take the pictures
• who/what would be the subject of your
pictures, etc.
• your brainstorming can be sketches or lists
What you will do…5. Shoot a series of new pictures (40 minimum)
based on the ideas brainstormed in your
sketchbook. Your images should make a
statement about the social issue.
6. Compile and edit images into a poster type
design. You should plan to add text and
possibly create a collage using multiple
images. How you use your photos is up to
you…but it should be clear what social
message you are trying to make.
