So for my Art 3 class, we had to choose a theme to go with war, and how it relates to war. I chose addiction. Through research, I found that during war, soldiers will fight off, or simply escape the pain that results from war events with addictions. The way I showed this is I drew a soldier smoking, and the smoke he's exhaling embracing images of war. The smoke symbolizes the escape or almost like the vanishing of the horrifying images, and the suffering soldiers go through during war. The soldier's smoking to try and forget about the pain, and the feelings it brings him thinking about what's he's seen during the serving of his country. I found through research, they want to erase their past/present, and be anywhere but where they are, and so they go into an altered state of mind with the help of mad bud. . On a final note, hope you enjoy my drawing! =]
