Freedom of Expression

An interesting idea presented to us in one of my classes. The idea was to take inspiration on one of the Four Freedoms both the idea and the Norman Rockwell paintings, and make an illustration based off of one of them according to what it meant to us. I chose the Freedom of Expression using the idea of different kinds of people coming together through art and how it can connect people, even if it can mean something different to different people. My idea was that this freedom as it means to me is utilizing the four freedoms through one, Freedom from fear through unity, expression through diversity, Freedom of religion through recognition and tolerance, and Freedom from want through progression and betterment. And all connected through the Unity statue. Look closely, and you'll see what I mean.
