This is the project about wars. I choose this theme because I hate wars so much. What ever for any reasons, it is killing, and they are also attacking the earth. In any factors, wars don't cause any good affect.It just causes bleeding and death. I wanted to draw a picture about wars long time ago. So this time I wanted to encourage people get way from wars by this project.

I was planning to make a soldier figure, and on the back is the skeleton, it means the soldiers in the wars are almost all dead, to express how harmful wars are. At the beginning, it is little bit hard to draw a skeleton, because I had no materials.But then I found a picture from internet, and used imagination finish the skeleton. And when I put the glass in the holes, I realized they were not staying, and then use the hot glue to solve them.After everything is done, the figure is not staying, so I just let it back the project, let it be the support.and so it can stand there.

I think it would not be so successful to persuade audiences to view the point, I think I didn't emphasis the main point. And the the whole project is not that colorful and shiny, to let audiences look at this project. If I have next time to do this project, I would let it be more colorful, and use more materials, don't let it feel so empty. And the figure would be more more colorful, I didn't have enough time to color the figure, so it just being like all white. If so it must be much better.

Critique of a Social Issue Painting In this painting, I think the artist wants to assume the argument between country and country, and the relationship between the earth and human. In the whole painting, it gives audience very anxious feeling, the sharp red color and the fearful lion take the big part of the picture. And the broken chesses and fire makes feeling of emergency, just like telling us time is running out.

The chesses on the table represent different countries, and they are all in western, they get in argument and even caused wars, the fire represents it. The chesses are all broken, some are fall, represent they may fail the war, and the chesses that still stand represent they win. The chessboard is still broken, that may means the place they live are hardly damaged.

The thin lion may represent the Africa, because there are lots of lions come from there. The people from Africa cannot even take themselves they, so they are not taking part in the argument, because they have no sources. But even they are not joying it, they are still suffering with the hunger, and very painful, we can see the fearful faces coming from the lion’s chest, and they seem like very harmful.

And the man siting under the green pillar, his dresses seem like from China or Japan, or some other Asian countries, so it may represent Asian countries. The man own a cattle, cattle is the main tool for farmers, and it represent they are searching profit. But there are many flags poke on the cattle, because of the wars, the Asian countries profit get a big damage, and less money they earned.

The hand in the right part of the picture is holding a phone, like a balance, one side is earth the other side is human. The phone represent the technology people that explored, and the human’s explore and culture give the earth a very big damage, so the earth on the right side is losing a part. This part, artist may want tell us that we should take care of environment, people’s culture cost too much, we should make a balance between progress and environment.
