I can both agree and disagree with this statement. I think that schools should be spending money to help us enter the workforce. However, the arts is a part of the workforce. Art is being pushed to more apart of everyday. Jobs like photographers and musicians are becoming more common during the age of technology. So, in order to truly prepare us for the workforce, we should be taught a little bit of every career choice to help teens pick out the best choice for them. Art is becoming more prominent in our society and teens need to be educated about it.

1. The mood of the images is tense and angry. In both of the images, she is by herself and in the first one looks like she may be looking for someone/something. They are also tense through their brush strokes, each one is thick and heavy. The models expressions look angry/tense through their posture and expressions too. However, the second models posture is slightly more casual than the first one's. 2. I think these images were created using oil based pastels. Oil pastels create a heavier look, similar to the ones presented. 3. Color always plays a role in an image, even when there is lack of color. The mood is definitely accentuated with color. It causes the images to look more dramatic. 4. I think the artist intended to convey feelings of anger. They are trying to evoke strong feelings of anger. I think the artist was successful with their attempt to convey anger through these images.
