Numerous classes on campus have been using Tuesday’s presidential election as either talking points in class or as the basis for a project, but none are doing it in the way PreAP Art I students are as they created political cartoons.
“I enjoyed this art project because I thought I was kind of cool that we got to express our political opinions through art,” student artist Emma Krilowicz said.
“I thought the art project was a great way to express my feelings and thoughts on the election his year,” student artist Jonathan Dao said.
“I think America is a beautiful country that is being ruined by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both, but I thought it would be funnier if I just said bad stuff about Trump so that’s what I did,” junior Rabita Rahman said.
“The political cartoon was really fun because being in school, we don’t get to express our political opinions. This was a great way to subtly show our stance on the election,” sophomore Prachurjya Shreya said.
“My political cartoon shows how people will vote for their side of the party instead of voting for the actual candidate themselves,” student artist Harish Nagarvathinam said.
“It basically just resembles how Donald Trump is a hypocrite and how he’s saying all these things about Bill Clinton doing stuff to women when he in fact is doing it himself,” student artist Kira Robinson said.
“Basically it resembles how she is a liar because of the scandal with all the emails and it also shows that Donald Trump is crazy because he wants to deport Mexicans,” student artist Kanz Bitar said.
“I took Donald Trump when he said Hillary has 30 years of bad experience and I took those scandals and turned them into art so I took Benghazi, Iraq and even Monica Lewinsky. Since she told us to pick a side I chose a Republican point of view so that’s why it was biased towards the GOP,” student artist Matthew Lee said.
