Role of arts in culture and society:-
Me and my friends with my teacher have observed 3 famous artists painting. The first painting depicts about Stone Age. The second painting depicts about Racism on Dark people. My perspective about the paintings is that all paintings are telling about the problems we face in our life.
We have done an Formative Assessment on this whole theme. The task was to explore any 2 art forms which depict a global issue ( the 2 art forms can depict the same issue or different issue) and where we feel there is a scope for a do able action plan for us. The art form could be:
A painting
A poem
A song
A photograph
A dance form
The art forms I have chosen were Poem and Painting-
The Poem and the painting both were about Over Population.
Application:-
I can connect this learning to real life by expressing by feelings through different ways and tell others also to express themselves in some way.
