Studio Art: Art as Activism


Yesterday we watched two clips from the documentary Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry and today we will be writing a short 2-3 paragraph essay on the nature of art's relationship with politics and social issues.  We have discussed contemporary artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey recently who also work in this arena so write a short essay about one of the works and how it illustrates the issue.  Discuss whether or not the work succeeds in making a point and give evidence to your opinion either way.
