ESSAY
Choose 5-6 artists or specific artworks from any chapter in Art History Vol 2, by Marilyn Stokstad whose works speak to issues you feel, are being made even more urgent during this pandemic and the present social and political climate. Connect these artists/artworks with a unifying theme. Choose any theme that you feel is important at this time. Examples can include (but are not limited to): power, governance, social inequality, feminism, history, medicine and medical care, love, religion, spirituality, war, identity, oppression, and representation. Or you can choose a combination of issues. Look to your own experiences to help you connect more personally and urgently to the artwork. What meaning does the artwork convey? How do the messages of these works feel connected to the present and to your own experience?
