The PowerPoint presentation on “Art as Social Commentary” is designed to provide Leaving Cert Art students with a comprehensive understanding of how art can reflect and critique societal issues.
It begins by defining key art vocabulary, such as ‘juxtaposition,’ ‘symbolism,’ and motifs which carry meaning which are essential for analysing how art communicates messages about social and political contexts.
The presentation then delves into contemporary art examples, showcasing works by artists like Banksy and Ai Weiwei, who use their art to comment on issues ranging from political oppression to environmental concerns.
By exploring these examples, students gain insights into how art serves as a powerful tool for social critique, encouraging them to engage with art not only as an aesthetic experience but as a means of understanding and questioning the world around them.

This is great! I’m very happy with this resource. It’s very difficult to find resources for the “Today’s World” section and this is really good. 👍
This PowerPoint is actually awesome! I wasn’t really sure how to tackle this part of the course but I think this PowerPoint is really well put together. I love all the artist examples you’ve included and the vocab boxes are great for drawing students attention to new art specific vocabulary! Have you got any more of these for Todays world?
