Topic: Art as Communication
Discuss the ways that artists can use art to communicate a political or social message. Identify two artists from two different countries or centuries that have used their art to comment on a social or political issue. Evaluate whether the message was effectively communicated through their art by researching the historical context of the artist and the issue they were commenting on.
• Articles with examples of artwork with a social and/or political message (you may not use these examples in your paper):
o Laborie, S (2018) Raft of the Medusa. Louvre.
o Dorbani, M.B. (2018) July 28: Liberty Leading the People. Louvre.
