Subdue The Mind

I didn't really know what category to put this in. But anyway.

Basically, we were required to do a quick piece of art that commented on "our modern world" in my World History class. Another POINTLESS assignment that helps us learn NOTHING--but it was art, so I had fun with it.

It's a critique of the anti-intellectualism, obsession with violence, roboticism, carelessness, and mindlessness in the world.

If you study it long enough, it's got a bunch of symbols and ideas expressed through crazy colours or scribbles.

Hopefully it makes sense. : )

And it was all done in crayon. Sketched in pencil first, of course.

The picture was taken with my phone, unfortunately, because I had to turn it in and couldn't bring it home--but we'll see when I can get it back and get a better picture of it... Anyway.

(If you squint your eyes and look at it, the colours pop and give it more depth; it looks more dynamic)
