ch 1-2 faith ringgold

In ch one Faith Ringgold had endured a lot of obstacles that could have prevented her success as a artist. I admire the fact that she keeps promoting social justice in communities such as civil rights to the feminist movement and more. She said that "prejudice was blindly accepted as beyond anyones control." This quote is reflects some issues today. I believe she meant that speaking about racism and any type of prejudiced remarks are shut down because it is a sensitive subject to talk about in the school system so lets stay quiet about the situation.

Chapter 2  the American People Series were very interesting to look at.  She says its in the category of Pop Art and is considered super realism, but I find the series to be in the category of social realism instead. Either way I love the vibrance, but yet  the dark meanings she is displaying in her work. I like that she is trying to inspire women in any category, she is a role model to those who feel as though they are owned by their partner.
