Art & Society
Art & Society Thematic Thread
Artists often create works of art that take inspiration from past and current-day issues in society. Artists use their mediums to communicate and illuminate societal issues, which can serve to educate, inspire, infuriate, and reflect society back on itself. The "Art & Society" thread asks students to consider art and society as interdependent and recognize their impact upon one another. Students may analyze a variety of artworks and determine how diverse societies had an impact on the creation of those works.
