Art War {003}

Art of War!

Art War {003} / February 2014 Task:

• Sun Tzu, master military strategist, said, "It is only one who is thoroughly acquainted with the evils of war that can thoroughly understand the profitable way of carrying it on." For generations, journalists and photogs have attempted (sometimes extremely succesfully) to capture the true essence of war. And for generations before that, painters, sculpters, creators attempted to immortalize war's savageness/beauty/intrigue/tragedy (think Goya).
• Using your choice of medium/mixed media, create a piece that embodies the idea of war. Paint/draw/sculpt/photograph/whatever your opinion of war, and the emotions wars stir up inside of you.
• Give it a title and send it to rahn.brooke@yahoo.com (use the Subject: Art War 003). 
• As per the Art War Rules, we will accept entrants thru 21FEB14 and post below. We will announce a winner on 28FEB14!!
