Workshop Structure

This 40-page visual workshop teaches composition fundamentals through internet meme culture. Students analyze balance of forms, rule of thirds, text-to-image weight, sequencing, and visual hierarchy using familiar references. The workshop blends art history (from Richard Dawkins' 1976 concept to TikTok remix culture) with hands-on drawing exercises that develop spatial awareness and communication design skills.

What's Included

✓ 17 pages — core visual workshop with meme history, composition analysis, and step-by-step exercises

✓ 16 pages — focused practice sheets across 5 mini-exercises (composition breakdown, text/image balance, rule of thirds grids, storyboard sequences, before/after redesign)

✓ 7 pages — presentation, transitions, and usage notes

✓ Inspired by Instagram, TikTok, and viral visual communication

✓ Real-world applications: graphic design, social media literacy, visual storytelling

✓ Zero-prep, printable or digital (A4 landscape)

Why This Works
