Jiho Park - Beautiful struggle - week 4

I believe that visual effect is powerful weapon to express you thoughts. If you think about ideas that I read in Beautiful struggle, you would know what is the powerful visualized content to act on your thoughts.

"Balance art and message"

In this article, it talks about how you say through the art with politics and role of the political artists. Political art is deep issues around the world. But, if you have balance between art and politics, it would be great enough to express on the public. People would get the ideas and strong content of the art. What you want to say? how you say? These questions are a priority of the process. When the art and message balanced together, that would be most powerful art in activism. "Art is no a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it."

"Banner hang"

Banner is one of the simple ways to spread words in public. It used to show for advertisement or in dangerous situation. The function of the banners is to announce people to alert in public. This function is critical power to easily expose in public. Hanging banner contains two categories : communicative and concrete idea. Moreover, the most of effective banners includes a clear goal. I would like to nail that some bold letters could change people's thoughts. Because it convey the idea with communication and strong idea.

"Hashtag Politics"

Hashtag(#) is one of the powerful opinion collection for nowadays. Social networks is great playground for people around the world. A hashtag organizes and amplifies attention. However, sometimes it seems dangerous because people will know one's opinion. If they have a great debates about the issues, that would be the best case for hashtag movement. On the other hand, it would be witch hunting if people see with contempt.


While I am reading these articles, I surely believe that "El arte es un arma cargada de futuro"
