Montage: Activity 2

Activity 2: Blog Entry
Find two examples of political photomontages that are either from a historical or contemporary source.
Discuss in what context they have been produced and how effective you think they communicate their intended message.
Discuss the techniques that have been used to assemble the examples you have chosen and offer alternative ways that the artist could have put over the same message.

To me this image means that pollution is slowly taking over and destroying the earth. I think the person used a black background and another image of earth and buildings with pollution. I think they took half of each image and blended them together to look like the buildings and pollution were coming from the earth. I think this image speaks volumes and was well put together.

Looking at this, it seems that the man in being portrayed as horrible man. That under him, when he takes his mask off he is a wolf, an evil looking wolf. Wolves can be represented as getting close to people for their own personal gain. So in this photo it shows that this man is evil, spiteful, and mean of sorts.
