topic: Art as Communication
Discuss the ways that artists can use art to communicate a political or social message. Identify and support your argument with examples of at least 3 artists and at least 6 art works from at least two different countries or centuries that have used their art to comment on a social or political issue. Evaluate whether the message was effectively communicated through their art by researching the historical context of the artist and the issue they were commenting on.
In creating the theme for your Art Curator Project, consider examining how artists and their art works, either contemporary or historical, have been shaped by unequal social and economic relationships among various peoples in Western cultures
