A Diverse Collection of Youth Created Art in Response to War
This is a mixed media work titled, "Brutality." The
piece was inspired by discoveries in doing this project, and started as
my personal response to war through symbolism. After creating the piece I
discovered that it was a representation of my life currently and has little to
do with war. It helped me to understand how I feel about decisions I have
recently made.

This article explores war
as a subject that continues to be explored universally by artists of all ages.
When artists explore the aspects of war they must consider their personal
memories, experiences, connections, reactions, views, and feelings concerning
the topic.
The
artist’s culture and personal experiences with war become part of their identity
and their art becomes their unique visual interpretation of war.
The
students in the collection have individual ideas and definitions of war, but
the pieces included in the collection are unified through the artists’ use of
symbolism to define war visually. Circumstances like the gender of the artist, the choice of materials, and the artist's exposure to the subject influence visual interpretation.
