M.I.A



War is the subject i choose. these three inlaid together to represent war from the 12th century to modern day of 1941. the first one is a shirt made with steel and brass with a sword in front made in the 12th century to 15century. it shows more about war as a normal thing that you have to protect yourself and during war. its more midevil sort of amor. the second piece is by Henery Moore made in 1864 and shows a man completely exposed except for a shield. he seems to be trying to curl his body as much as possible behind the shield. he has unfinished legs and arms. he is faceless. showing that all that is not important. i seems to be helpless besides it shield. hes so exposed. finally the last piece is called Raw War by Bruce Nauman. this peice shows war as a scary thing that is more mencing and evil. it show war is raw. they all correlate war as a scary thing but show it in a different way. you need to protect yourself in the first two pieces but the third show it with just words. words that explain war as bad. where the other just show war as something that needs to be done. it just interested me how the three represent war but in there own way.

  1. NIce work, Kayla. You did it!
    Interesting juxtaposition of these depictions/ objects of war throughout time. I'm not sure that the Nauman and Moore works are all that different in their message...
