Research Questions
- How do art produced in a democracy compare to & contrast with art produced in a non-democratic climate?
- How does having (or not having) the right to freely express oneself affect the type of art produced in a society?
- How are these art forms depicted or made available to the public?
- Which artistic mediums are authentically engaging to students?
Defining Terms
For the purposes of this project the following definition of art is implied:
Art is any original or creative product based on real or imagined events or experiences. It is a product that can be expressed in a written, oral, visual, kinesthetic and/or multimedia format and that can be used as a vehicle for introspection, social commentary, propaganda and/or social justice. It can, therefore, be interpreted as a positive or negative form, depending on the audience.
