How can artists use their work to promote social or political messages?
- Artists use their drawings to display important moments in society and politics through
satire, allegory and symbolism in mediums such as cartoons and caricatures. They can use these
images to illuminate their own political and social views, the views of the masses, or poke fun at
politicians or even whole communities.
Should art be valued solely on its aesthetic, or should the social and cultural
context of the work also be considered?
- Works of art don't have to be beautiful, but we must acknowledge that aesthetic
Judgment plays a large part in the reception of art. Beauty might not be an objective quality in
the work of art, nor is it a rational way for us to argue for the cultural importance of an object.
