They will begin by viewing and learning about one of the pioneers of political photomontage, Hannah Hoch. Students will conduct a series of brainstorming and research activities to help generate ideas for an original activist artwork. They will be taught how to use a variety of selection tools in Photopea so that they can cut apart and reassemble digital imagery to communicate their idea.
