Banksy wants to show people that there is more to this art piece, it should be depicted as a reminder to remain positive instead of drowning from losses.

In the past, only the rich people like the royals and the pope were able to pay for portraits of themselves. Now, anyone is able to get their portraits taken. The maid here, is someone who Banksy met in a hotel room in Los Angeles.  ]]> 2018-05-07 14:35:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258550195 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258550519 Banksy took the quote "let them eat cake" from Marie Antoinette. This was referring to the french peasants, Banksy changes the quote to 'let them eat crack". This voices towards the middle and lower classes. ]]> 2018-05-07 14:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258550519 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258550912 Banksy shows in this picture that everyone is hiding something, things don't always seem as they appear. Do not always believe everything you are told. someone's lie might be creating an illusion. ]]> 2018-05-07 14:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258550912 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258552083 This picture shows two police men kissing. Banksy is asking us "Who says this is inappropriate?" This is controversial, love is love, everyone should be accepted for who they are and no one has to hide in the shadows. ]]> 2018-05-07 14:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258552083 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258554460 While Da Vinci's Mona Lisa appears graceful and passive, Banksy give her a more powerful look. Her facial expression remains as a calm as the original. But when she holds the weapon, her expression seems more menacing. This teaches that even the most calm, simple people can become someone they are not when removed from their tranquil lives. ]]> 2018-05-07 14:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258554460 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258555504 This piece shows some positivity  between what human behaviors are. Many people are told to be good and be happy, but end up doing the opposite. Actions speak louder than words. People should make sure that their actions don't contradict their words. ]]> 2018-05-07 14:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258555504 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/258568055 In this painting there is a use of an unexpected weapon, a bouquet of flowers. The lesson that should be learned it that we should do more by being kind and not malevolently.

To make ourselves happy, buying unnecessary objects has been the solution. Banksy is criticizing society's unappreciative for nature. ]]> 2018-05-10 14:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259641838 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259643167 This drawing is parallel to the ancient cave paintings and modern day graffiti street art. it is normal to clean off walls, but it is wrong to do that to history. Banksy is  questioning the values that are put on art and the word "vandalism" that is assigned to others. ]]> 2018-05-10 14:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259643167 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259822795 2018-05-11 01:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259822795 bailey_lowy1 https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259838403 2018-05-11 02:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bailey_lowy1/2o89qqwhk0lj/wish/259838403
