Fight for freedom : voicing the silent : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The presentation of the show, "Fight for Freedom: Voicing the Silent," included the production of 12 drawings, 6 paintings, an artist statement, and gallery space. The show was a culmination of research, travel, writing, drawing, painting, and experimentation. Research included traveling to several exhibitions, searching the library and researching artists and styles. Extensive writing and journaling helped evolve the concept for the show to appeal to a broad audience at social, academic, and spiritual levels. Creating the artwork was an intentionally experimental process to find the best possible way to illustrate the ideas of the show. The final presentation created a new venue for art within low-income neighborhoods and provided an opportunity to expose the ideas of social justice through art.
