Many different things fall in to the category of Art, wether itʻs a painting, drawing, poem, photo, video, etc. When learning about history, we can see that many different art forms were used to document and showcase important events/highlights of the time. This is also used today in our own society. With all the guest speakers that had presented to us this past semester, I learned that different art forms are used all around the world to showcase those different events and historical/modern figures that really play a big role today. Just like in history where they use paintings to showcase that specific event or person, today in our modern society people utilize so many other forms of art to advocate. We can see that in protests/movements, signs and art pieces are made to bring attention to causes or videography is used to bring life and creativity to situations. When learning about other peopleʻs outlets we have seen cartoon work to large murals to phototograohy all around the world. Art can by used by incorporating different elements and portraying them in a different way. My project topic is Gender Equality. I created my poem, “The Injustice is Real” to talk about the issues women face today in our society. My poem highlights the unfairness of women being overlooked all of the time and not getting that same treatment they deserve. In the piece, one specific line that stood out to me was “Some may say the future is female. / But why wait?/ The future is now.” I feel this line really points out that women are so powerful that they should not be heald in a box nor treated with any less respect than men get treated with. The next generation of Female leaders cant wait until the future, it is time for them to stand up now and lead NOW. I am very passionate about my poem and it overall just reflects that this is a serious topic and people need to learn that the injustice is serious. Citations:
