Gina Hankins 5/2/2013 Art Integration Lesson Plan 3 3. Social Studies 4. Other: Math & Science (see other references below) social/political/economical rights and privileges. Liberty was a foundational principle upon which our country was built. Liberty is used interchangeably with the word freedom. Freedom: The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Synonym for Liberty. Artists often exercise their liberties/freedoms to make their creations. Symbol/Symbolism: A thing that represents or stands for something else, especially a material object representing something abstract. Artists often use symbols to represent various ideas/concepts/thoughts within their art form. Rights: are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement; that is, rights are the fundamental normative rules about what is allowed of people or owed to people, according to some legal system, social convention, or ethical theory. Rights are often considered fundamental to civilization, being regarded as established pillars of society and culture and the history of social conflicts can be found in the history of each right and its development; rights are not as much granted or endowed as they are fought for and claimed. Such as the unalienable rights acknowledged in the Declaration of Independence that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Artists and authors renderings often depict or address an individuals rights. Enlightening: Give (someone) greater knowledge and understanding about a subject or situation.
