Motivated Functions of Art - Art for Social Inquiry:

 

  • Art for social inquiry, subversion and/or anarchy, while similar to art for political change, may seek to question aspects of society without any specific political goal. In this case, the function of art may be simply to criticize some aspect of society.

  • Graffiti art and other types of street art are graphics and images that are spray-painted or stenciled on publicly viewable walls, buildings, buses, trains, and bridges, usually without permission. Street art is usually illegal and the vandalism is part of the political statement behind the work.
