I learned that art is an easy way to highlight social concerns about history or modern society because of how easy and eye catching it is. I think that art is an creative outlet where anyone and everyone can express themselves in a way others can understand. Even if itʻs not about advocacy people will still take time to look and appreciate art. For example, all the murals in town some of them are just for show but people still stop and take pictures with them. With modern day events, people are looking for artwork that is meaningful and connected to them. Advocacy now is people supporting people while they do the things that they love the most. We live in a time where everyone is connected no matter where they go and so many forms of art exist now, especially in the digital world. Overall, with the new sources we have art is an easy way to connect with others, advocate for what you believe in, and help change the world. My poem is discussing the sustainability Life Below Water, so I decided to make it obviously about the ocean. I wanted it to be everything I could think of which was simple, meaningful, and complex which I think it achieves for myself. It is talking about how we think of the ocean and the creatures in it, the choice of words used to describe the issue, like below the line what does below really mean is a play on words to do we think creatures in the ocean are below us? Then as you read further is talk about suffocation which is literal, if the fish became land dwelling they would suffocate from pollution in air, and they suffocate from pollution in the sea. Its a bit morbid but for me I think the only way for a fish to escape whatever is in the ocean is death, because no matter where they go the water is still polluted and problems arenʻt being solved.
