Respond and Confront

Over the span of my Ceramics to experience, this project challenge me to find a controversial topic and then create a piece of art that would portray my message. The requirements consists of the following: Identify an issue that you feel strongly about. Come to class with articles or resources that you can mine for ideas and inspiration. next, Create a 2D multimedia response to your issue using text and image in a Collage form. And last, Create a ceramic form inspired by your 2d image. This form must include text and some aspect of the human figure/form. Start with a drawing. My controversial topic that I chose was War on Drugs. I chose this topic because I have been watching a documentary about the fight against drugs within our country and in neighbouring countries. I expanded my knowledge on this topic through more research. The negative impact that illegal drugs have on are Citizens and economy really motivated me to create a piece of art that promotes fighting against illegal drugs. A challenges that are faced during this project was how I wanted to portray my message through a sculpture. an enjoyable part of this project was finding more research that broaden my overall knowledge on the topic.
