Assignment 3: TRACT

Use a narrative to persuade others to a stated
point of view. Your visual narrative should be
based in fact, but can contain fictional
elements, and can even consist of mostly
fictional images. As in parafiction, the images
should attempt to be interpreted as real rather
than immediately being perceived as false (you
may use humor to persuade but the project
should not be a joke). You should actually try to
persuade people to agree with the point of view
in your tract, no matter how outlandish. On the
most basic level, the tract should cause them
to question the validity of your idea in a serious
way. You may also use a more subtle approach
akin to magical realism, in which you bring our
attention to the uncanny in everyday life.

Due next week (16th)
