- Find two examples of political photomontages that are either from a historical or contemporary source.
- Discuss in what context they have been produced and how effective you think they communicate their intended message.
- Discuss the techniques that have been used to assemble the examples you have chosen and offer alternative ways that the artist could have put over the same message.
This image is from a historical source. I think this image is VERY effective because it just doesn't apply to the country this picture is representing, it applies to everyones countries with some type of government. They are trying to show that the political people and parties people who are here "for us" do and say what we want to hear. Like monkey see monkey do, they don't mean what they say, they do whatever they can for the money not putting us in mind, just making us think that they are. The techniques they chose are the monkey of course implying the "monkey see monkey do" say what I want you to say and do what I say for the money. There really is no other way I would have put this because this shows a lot and is probably the easiest and best way to get a message across that the government is corrupt.
This image is from a historical source. The image would be very effective on the audience seeing it, especially the countries government that this person is in. The message is pretty much giving this lady some choice of words and letting them know they aren't any good. Of course they used the toilet because that's where waste goes and they montaged her in there letting her know they want to let her go and she needs to go with the rest of the waste there is. I wouldn't put this is another way because it's a clever way and the best of saying you don't want somebody around anymore.
