Question: Do you think that art should have a social or political message?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: That depends on the artist and their personal beliefs and intentions. Some artists believe that art should be used as a means of commenting on and engaging with social and political issues, while others believe that art should be separate from these concerns.

Reason: Art can be a powerful tool for raising awareness and inspiring change, and many artists feel a responsibility to use their work to address important social and political issues.

Example: For example, Banksy is a famous street artist who uses his work to comment on political and social issues, such as war, poverty, and consumerism. Similarly, the works of Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo often depicted scenes of Mexican life and social struggles, as well as political and cultural themes.

Alternative: On the other hand, some artists believe that art should be a form of pure expression, free from the constraints of social and political considerations. These artists focus on exploring the beauty and emotions of the world through their work, rather than making a statement or commenting on current events. ---
