Political Cartoons: Using OPTIC

What are Political Cartoons? Political Cartoon = An illustration or comic strip containing a political or social message that usually relates to current events or people.

Where Can I Find One? Internet Newspaper Magazine Textbooks

OPTIC The five letters in the word OPTIC (pertaining to the eye) provide a system for remembering the five steps for analyzing a visual. This strategy is designed to help you better understand paintings, photographs, and political cartoons.

Objects are in the cartoon? A recliner, perhaps to imply laziness A garbage can, implying that kids are eating unhealthy food

People are in the cartoon? These people are/represent... *Sometimes you will see animals representing people!*

Title AND Time period? Sometimes titles won’t be so obvious. What time period would this be?

What Inferences can you draw. (infer: to speculate, guess, imply What Inferences can you draw? (infer: to speculate, guess, imply. To conclude from evidence.) ? Is the artist trying to say that kids have become like this on their own?

Conclusions can you draw? What does our society think of children? What does society think of their parents? What can you conclude?
