COP3 Proposal
Given question of interest; To what extent does social responsibility impact on the role and function of illustration? Themes which I am interested in are social changes and responsibilities, as well as cultural values and impacts. I also intend to incorporate the role in which consumption has taken on society.
Introductory Statement Although I am unsure of the exact thesis I want to right about in my dissertation, I have really enjoyed focusing my research in Cultures, especially within subcultures and youth cultures. I am really interested in how they have influenced art movements as well as our own views. Therefore I intend to broaden my research from 501 within this next module, maintaining my interests and prior knowledge of the topic

Quotes • “I believe artists can show our world of tomorrow better than politicians and analysts” – Victor Pinchuk • “You may attend a rally or vote, but you also read books, listen o music, engage with visual art, turn on the radio and create your identity through culture. Artists are central, not peripheral, to social change. To have the movements that make the wave, you need cultural workers.” – Favianna Rodriguez • “Our fine arts were developed, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in comparison with ours” (Benjamin, 1051). -Walter Bendix Schönflies Benjamin
