Visual Rhetoric Object Description


Materials 

Modeling Clay (Black, Brown, White)
Thick foam and Cardboard to hold items erect

Construction 

Molding the objects using small tools and bare hands
Using cardboard as a base for all objects 

Setup

Object one: A television stand with a curtain texture
Object two: The television resting on the stand with an "M" carved on the screen
Object three: A couch in the form of a closed recliner with a carved skirt 
Object four: A burger rests on the recliner watching the TV
Object five: A small cup of soda sits playfully next to burger

Meaning

The burger represents an adult presence or larger authority while the small cup symbolizes
a younger being, some naivety. 
The scene should appear grimy and odd placed and make the viewer feel uncomfortable
as the two beings fall victim to the television and slowly become the consumable.

  1. This description makes me feel like you want us to see how these people are falling prey to what the consume, whether that be by watching tv or what they eat. This makes you realize that many people have a very unhealthy lifestyle. I think this is intended to make you realize that not everything is good just because it gets an add on tv and that this lifestyle can he hard to break. I get the feeling that this could be about obesity and laziness possibly. i think it will do a good job conveying the message.
