This extra credit project can be completed by one or multiple members of the class. You do not have
to be in the photograph, you can help set up the image with friends, family memebers, etc. and shoot
the photograph.
Select an image from our lectures and recreate this as a living image. Please note: No use of
Photoshop is allowed! You will be graded based on your ability to replicate the line, color,
composition, shadows, textures, etc. of the image.
When submitting your extra credit, please add your image as a PDF and a copy of the original artwork
that you replicated.

The Meme is a pretty common part of popular visual culture! Coined by the British
evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, it is a shortened form of the
word mimeme, an Ancient Greek term that means “imitated thing.”
Using an image from our lectures, this extra credit assignment asks you to build a meme!
The trick is to think about how an image can communicate an idea (funny, playful, satirical,
etc.) in our current context. Get creative! Your meme will be graded based on thoughtfulness
(do you understand the original image), creativity (does it make a relevant statement for
today), and simplicity (clear and to the point). If you’re looking for examples, check
