EXSTRA ESSAY QUESTION

QUESTION 2: SOCIOPOLITICAL ART, INCLUDING RESISTANCE ART OF THE 1970s AND 1980s   RIGHT CLICK ON THE BUTTON TO OPEN THE IMAGES FOR QUESTION 2 IN A NEW TAB:     Guns are Roses was inspired by the unfortunate events that took place in September 2012 at the Lonmin Marikana platinum mine in South Africa, where police shot and killed 34 protesters who were on strike to demand a better basic wage. What made this event so shocking was the fact that it went against everything that South Africa is supposed to stand for today. After centuries of colonialism and decades of active struggle against the apartheid government, South Africa was supposed to have achieved democracy, equal rights for all and an end to the exploitation of poor people. At Marikana, people who stood up for these principles were harshly reminded that perhaps not so much has changed.   2.1 By using your knowledge of resistance art, analyse how Witbooi’s artwork as seen in FIGURE 2a is a form of contemporary resistance art.   Refer to the following in your discussion: ·       Images and symbols ·       Use of formal art elements ·       Style and technique ·       Possible meaning ·       Socio-political issues being address (8)
