Art Journal for 8-17-11

Major factors contributing to poverty: income, environment, behavior, laziness, lack of opportunities, drug abuse, mental health issues.

Artist's portrayal of poverty: He shows poverty as a negative, gloomy, and say way to live life.

Artist's message: Poverty is a hard lifestyle to maintain physically, socially, mentally, and emotionally.

2 Artistic Elements:
Contrast in Color: The artist uses the bright colors of the flowers to show that they are one of the few ways this family can  make ends meet.
Perspective/Space: The rest of the public is far away from the impoverished family. This gives the piece a sense of social isolation and neglect.
these elements both emphasize once again that poverty is an extremely difficult way to live life.
