Assignment 2: RNC photo

http://www.flickr.com/photos/gopconvention/7753967786/in/photostream

I found this picture in the RNC photostream. I choose it because it is an actual art piece submitted for the convention. Aside from the craft of the piece, the artist does a good job of incorporating much of what the Republican part views as icons to their political agenda, including national images of American views, such as the eagle, the flag, etc. It ties all of these together under their own banner of the elephant. It won the competition the RNC held, and was made by Erin Fesler, a high schooler. Kinda reminds me that politics affects children that young, something that never concerned me before.

  1. It is easy to insert photos into the blog. You can either upload them or drag and drop. This would have been much more visually compelling if your text was accompanied by an image. You also could have done a better job of analyzing this image. Your discussion is very cursory.
