Police Brutality
I used markers, colored pencils, pencil, pen, and cardboard. Police brutality happens all over the world, but many people don’t know about it America. It happens often, I thought that it was an important issue to talk about. My art has a picture of a police man beating a protester. I used red next to the cop, to symbolize their anger and power. In his one hand, he is holding a baton. In the other, he his holding the words, “PEACE OF MIND.” I chose those words because many people lose their peace of mind and feel unsafe with this happening. At the top, I wrote: “TO SERVE AND PROTECT.” I wrote this because this is the goal of police, but it is obviously being contradicted. In the center of the words at the top there is a police badge with blood dripping off of it. This is supposed to represent the innocent people that the police were supposed to be helping, but instead the police beat.
