Students create symbolic self-portraits and artist statements, then use AI (NotebookLM) to produce podcast episodes for a multimedia exhibition expressing identity and impact.
Learning Objectives:
Students will understand the concept of impact and how it manifests physically, emotionally, socially, and symbolically. They will analyze how colors and symbols influence emotions, behavior, and communication.
Through research, discussion, and creative expression, students will explore identity and personal values. They will apply their learning by designing self-portraits that incorporate color psychology, symbolism, and character traits to convey meaningful messages.
By the end of the unit, students will recognize their ability to influence others and the world around them through thoughtful, intentional expression.
