Question Description

Two themes that we have studied that I think go strongly hand in hand is social protest/affrimations, and the section on power, glory and politics. They both correlate to one another and occur throughout history and are a huge issue presentley as well. Power normally takes over and causes protest, and politics play a huge role in our social settings and communities and world. Two paintings I chose are below:
These are two very strong representations of glory and revolution and power and war. In both cases, such different times, countries are fighting for freedom and a revolution and honoring their country. I think today this still is such a strong message and is still admired for the honor and glory that occured. In our modern day we have many protest and revolutions, and these themes play such a strong role in history and present.

The two themes I have chosen are Race, Gender, Clan, Class and Social Protest/Affirmation.
These two themes are related by cause and effect. We are born of a Race that affects how we are treated by others for a lifetime. At an early age Gender distinction is taught and reinforced by society. Our Clans give us a sense of identity and belonging, while making it easier to exclude those outside our family circle. Class is obvious and one of the few things that can be upgraded through hard work and financial planning.
Art in media reinforces stereotypes that are offensive. Think Aunt Jemima or Juan the coffee bean picker. Women are still the gold standard for inequality. Their place in society down graded by sexualized imagery and lower pay scales.
This is where I believe the theme of Protest/Affirmation comes into play. Performance art, graffiti, social media, and printed materials can reflect an artists protest against social injustice. By questioning the status quo many artists risk imprisonment and even death when they challenge an oppressive regime. The under represented and subjugated garner affirmation of their dignity via protest art. Protest art is most powerful when it brings about a belief that change is actually possible.
