Reading discussion


I chose the quote,"Drawing is the launguage best suited to the notions of revelation and liberation; in its immediacy and its capacity for secrecy (a drawing can be easily rolled or folded up and hidden) it is the perfect medium to convey the experience and the voice of the other---of women, children, the autodidact, the slave, the prisoner, the oppressed." This really caught my attention, It's a way of expressing something so intamint and personal. Using this as a medium can create such wonderful pieces of art.
Frida Kahlo's artwork was focused on equlity amoung the sexes. Her artwork showed her view on this subject.
