TALONS Digital Literacy Post #2 – Midsummer Night’s Dream Character Analysis

In English, we had a unit focusing on William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. After completing the book, we worked on a written analysis of one character from the play. We had to work together in groups of four. The character from the play that we analyzed was Oberon. We had to write literary paragraphs about his wants, fears, defining characteristics, and conflicts.

Midsummer Night’s Dream Character Analysis

An illustration of Oberon from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s DreamĀ that I created digitally.

 

Criteria:

I used digital spaces to plan and execute collaborative projects with my peers. (1)

For this group project, my group and I did the majority of our work on a shared word document. We communicated online to discuss and set timelines, as well as provide feedback to each other.

 

I enhance the impact of my research or presentation through the creative use of technology. (5)

I decided to create the illustration of Oberon digitally. I wanted to create a unique illustration that represents Oberon’s character. I used computer software to add meaning depth to my drawing.

 

I challenged myself to increase my technological literacy by working with apps, software, and mediums that I was not familiar with in the past. (8)

I created the illustration for the project using PaintToolSAI and Photoshop CS6. I was unfamiliar with digital art and using PaintToolSAI, but I challenged myself to learn something new and I learned a lot through this experience. Click here for the illustration(PSD document).
