Sofia Arista-Juares Reflection 13

This week was a nice week. I like how many people through artwork can express what they are feeling. From writing, to drawing, to painting, to photographs, there are many mediums people can use to express something. I feel like artwork is very beautiful because of the story and message it is delivering. There are many artists who are well known for being active and spreading awareness and making movements. For example, when I was looking for an artist to share an artwork I came upon Monica Mayer who I have never heard of. Her movement was very powerful in my opinion because gave a voice to those who felt like they couldn’t speak up. She made it so people can come together and realize they aren’t alone. But also, she made it so that people can open their eyes and realize what changes are necessary to make. Her movement made it so that people can feel safe in expressing their thoughts and feelings on things in a way where they won’t feel like they will become a target for expressing themselves. Many artists have done work pieces that speak very loud and have been impactful in history during their times. This is why I liked this week’s assignment because it allowed us to share other artists with one another and learn about new people.
