ISIS used a photographer's photo called 'Gaza Cinderella', which shows a toy princess with what look like missiles soaring overhead and replaced the Cinderella with the ISIS flag to spread the word of their self-proclaimed Caliphate. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/isis-stole-photographers-image-used-6974093

(what's wrong with the world
today with images that inspire
to think - to convey ridicule
through controversial images)
Example: Polish artist Pawel
Kuczynski creates satirical
paintings filled with
thought-provoking messages
about the world today.
Annotations:
- http://digitalsynopsis.com/inspiration/36-thought-provoking-paintings-pawel-kuczynski/ In one painting, he ridiculed/mocked democratic process of voting by placing herd of sheep going towards a voting box that has grass, making light of the world's obsession of facebook by using the icon of facebook as a confession box that has a loudspeaker
- Paintings can allow other's to understand
the artist's better by showing them what
the artist's sees in his or her world. (the
abstract nature of art allows people of
disabilities to express their artistic talents)
Annotations:
- xample: Vasily Kadinsky is an artist who suffers from synesthesia, hence he sees the world differently compared to others. Hence, through his paintings, we can understand that his world is very colourful and melodious. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/3653012/The-man-who-heard-his-paintbox-hiss.html
