Ethan Delair, “Madison Culture”, 15”x20”, April 2019
The food, the university, the lakes, all the things that make Madison meaningful to me are its culture. I decided that, instead of showing sensitive elements, I would make my artwork a celebration of Madison culture. Following this concept, I chose to make a propaganda poster. This kind of artwork only focuses on the best parts of something. I used oil pastels, for their bright, solid colors. The viewer should see this piece and feel the happiness and perfection of an ideal Madison, Wisconsin.
