A political cartoon explains an event or the effects of an event either in an humorous way or an serious but exaggerated way. The cartoonist can exaggerate a specific feature of an person or an event like the artist may make the ears of Obama’s extremely large because of how they feel about him listening to the issues but never doing anything about it. Or they make the statue of a famous civil movements leaders’ unfinished because they feel that their job is unfinished. The political cartoons are here to catch the attention of the public in a humorous way other than a serious way.

Dear City Council, I am a citizen who has heard about the decision of whether or not to use city funds for the sculpture. Our city is seemingly tedious due to the lack of art, and this would be a great opportunity to change it. I support the creation of this sculpture because it will enhance our city’s appearance and allow citizens to experience the beauty of art.

2. The Menkaure and a queen sculpture is standing against a wall or post. Its sculpted on black stone. The king is standing stiffly and expressionless with his wife holding him while walks forward. The king and queen step with their left foot forward. His hands are clenched and is wearing only a skirt. He also wears a hat. The sculpture seems smooth. The Metropolitan Kouros sculpture is free standing and is made of a beige colored stone. He is naked with his left foot forward as well. Kouros muscles and body parts are detailed in the sculpture. His hands are clenched and he is emotionless. His hair looks like dread locks.

The duality to the perception of this sculpture is furthered emphasized utilizing

One of the important elements the image portrays is the Statue of Liberty having a moneybag as a breast. It

The top of the sculpture head lies a cylindrical structure. On the cylindrical structure there are various symbols. In the center of the cylindrical structure there is a triangular symbol with intricate and abstract lines running through it. At the very top of the cylindrical there are two dark lines that run parallel to each other and the circle on top of the cylindrical structure. At the bottom of the cylindrical there are crown like ridges. At the bottom of the cylindrical shape there is line separating the face, giving the view of the sculpture. As it continues, it has two lines on the face on each side and an oval shape including the triangle in the middle. On both sides of the sculpture’s face there are big earrings hanging

The Egyptian city of Amarna was a capital built by the Pharaoh Akhenaten which was abandoned shortly after his death in 1332 BCE. The city of Amarna was where Akhenaten pursued his vision of a society dedicated to the devotion of the power of the sun god, the Aten. It remains the largest accessible living site of Ancient Egypt. It is a key to the history of the religious experiences of Egypt and to a fuller extent the life of an egyptian. There is no other site like it. The website mentions that the site is in danger of encroachment. This sounds very interesting to me and I’d like to see how the life of an Egyptian was at the time. I don’t know much about the Egyptians, but I’d like to learn more

Allen Schmertzler made this artwork entitled Occupy Politics. It talks about how the politics work. It defines the differences between rich and less fortunate. Wherein people who are in high class and serves as a leader can manipulate a certain society. He can be able to do what kind of society he wants to put in. We can fully realize that there is an inequality we live in. His artwork tells us the reality, the truth and the justice.

The cartoon’s use of strong, contrasting characters ridicules the corrupt government by the use of images of the emaciated “people” and the stout, well-fed “government” and depicting the people as hand-feeding the government. The artist depicts the people as a malnourished person, hand-feeding the government, who is already shown to be overweight and overly-fed. This plays to the theory that the government is using the people to gain wealth through the less fortunate. The government is giving the corrupt members of the political ladder power and money while pretending to care about the public. This should be used as an example of why the government system should be improved. The public is obviously being used by politicians for the politicians’

On September 23, 2017 I visited the Dallas Museum of Art to study paintings by different artists. There were numerous pieces from different time periods and cultures, all exhibiting unique subject matters and having distinct characteristics as well. However, the painting that grabbed my attention the most was Seaside Cemetery by Adolf Hiremy – Hirschl. Through the use of dark colors such as grey and dark green, the division of the cemetery from the oncoming storm, and the distinct brushstrokes and thick texture to depict the devastating storm, the artist reveals that mankind is helpless against the brutal force of Mother Nature.

I plan to answer the following essential question: how can art be used to depict political views? I also hope to address these other questions that follow the essential one: Do “political art” and “propaganda art” mean the same thing? How can I make meaningful art from political perspectives that are not my own? Why do certain political symbols and images spread (the pink “pussy hats”,

Initially, when I walked up to this sculpture my thoughts were the name of the piece pretty much sums it up. Approaching the statues, they seem to just be large bronze masses on the corner of McCaul street but, as any art should be looked at, I decided to dig deeper than the superficial. The location is odd to me, mainly because the bronze forms are not alone in the corner of the building, but are not really impacted by its surroundings. The trees behind the statue are dead giving a desolate atmosphere invoking a sense of loneliness. Moreover, almost the entire area surrounding the piece is solid concrete, giving a very penitential outlook. I’m not sure if the sculpture’s initial approach is supposed to invoke miserable emotions but if so it does its job

The sculpture Laocoön And his Sons (figure 1) made in the 1st Century is a mighty marble statue that is situated in Rome in the Vatican Museum. The sculpture is accredited to three sculpturers who all took part in its creation the being: Athenodoros, Polydorus, and Agesander. The massive statue is based on a story from Greek mythology and exemplifies the Hellenistic passion for depicting dynamic and striking figure groupings that would elicit feelings of drama and pain. The sculpture establishes this by it incorporating elements of art such as line, form, and a central focal point, but it also conveys an emotional element with intensity. This sculpture is an example of Hellenistic ideals, unique representations, and assertive imagery, all of which make it distinctive and riveting.

The conspicuous depiction of the urban poverty in a verifiably noteworthy comic strip, making a sharp parody on city destitution (Sabin 134), features the manifestation of ideology in comic craftsmanship. This comic strip depicts a few of the suggestions and indications of ideologies hidden in the comics. As a matter of fact, the meaning of ideology can be an elusive one. It can be characterised barely, concentrating on standard ‘Politics’ (with a capital P) while talking about liberal versus moderate positions on issues, a definition that comics critic Arthur Asa Berger appears to receive in his discourse of the ideology of the U.S. comic strip Pogo (Berger 173). Or, then again it can be characterised comprehensively, to include issues of interceded influence and discourses of the impact of the mass communications on its groups of onlookers, regardless the nature of that impact (Barker 213). Thus it is obvious that ideology is firmly tied in with issues of social control. It deals with the questions of why and how may comics defy or maintain power disparities in the public eye. It also raises the question of how these comics serve to celebrate and legitimise ideological values and beliefs and social institutions, or do they investigate and subvert the established norms and status quo of the society.
