DO YOU LIKE BANSKY?

ART CAN HELP RAISE SOCIAL AWARENESS, THIS IS WHAT BANSKY THINKS

By Inés Piñero

In this picture we can see a child who dresses like one of the characters from the Simpsons. This child is writing on a blackboard that he should not copy what he  sees on TV,  is just the opposite of what he is doing.

Banksy claims that society is heavily influenced by what they see on TV. Especially children are most affected and they copy everything they see. 

In my opinion this drawing expresses a very present reality,  we often try to hide. What do you think? Please leave a comment!

In this other image we can see the character Mickey Mouse and Ronald Mc Donald hand  in hand with a girl, this girl was taken from a photo in which she was running naked with wounds on her body, in the Vietnam War. She was wailing "Too hot, too hot", and running away from a burning village.

I think Banksy is trying to highlight the lifestyle of children with economic resources against those who do not.

Vietnam fought in that war against the USA (where these characters are from). 

Placing  this child next to the  American ones he is  highlighting the devastation it has caused  in her country.

I found  this picture very impressive, especially after seeing the original. I think everyone should know this work of Banksy! And you?
