I chose this social issue because of the past problems with drinking and driving. This has been a big issue with not only the country but the whole world. I have a friend that was in an accident and went into critical condition, almost dying. The biggest problem i had with this project was trying to make it all come together. it kinda looks like its seperated which i dont really like.I painted the tire skids white to draw the eye over and have them lead to the picture in the background. I do think this was a pretty successful piece of art. It shows what can happen if you drink and drive and it makes it a little scary. I wish i would have had more time to put into this and made it nicer. I would make the background blend a lot better if i could do it again. This piece of art does persuade the viewer that drinking and driving is bad and can cause death. This social issue is smoking tobacco. The artists view of this issue is that smoking tobacco is a dangerous and bad thing. The artists uses very nice background color making the picture really stand out. the smoke coming from the cigarette looks very unhealthy and nasty. this is a very successful work of art. its showing the viewers that this is a unhealthy habit and should not be used as a product.
