Study task 2 - Collecting images

Gathering/collecting images

From the past context of practice lessons the focus has been on starting to really consider what essay quesiton to choose. This study task for context of practice is in response to my chosen essay question which is - 'discuss the role that illustration can play during periods of political and/or social upheaval.  Therefore these are images that i feel relate best to that question. 


My 20 chosen images 

























My main aim when searching for these images was to not just go for generic images but to really choose ones that made me think and reflect about whats in the image. I also feel that my selection of images is more than relevant to my essay question as each image in one way or another has somehting on it that relates to either or social and political themes.




My Three Visual responses to the images

Once we had collected these images we were asked to visually respond i.e with a drawing to the overall theme with the images. 

This is an image that is highlighting the naive and childish way of how big political leaders go to war. As here is depicted a child who is a fictitious president is playing with his tank and soldiers with them marching down on the piece of paper which says 'Syria' on it. 

This image depicts how i am saying that with all issues in the world i wouldn't be surprised if 'aliens' were looking down on us and making a mockery such as this. 

This is just a general attack on David Cameron making a statement of how he literally has no idea with what he's doing.
