Norman Rockwell was one of the most influential American illustrators and painters of the twentieth century, noted for his insights and critiques of social and political issues.

Solution: In 1942, Rockwell created a series of illustrations for President Roosevelt's "Four Freedoms" concept.These illustrations showed freedom of speech, freedom of belief, freedom from want, and freedom from fear through vivid images, making abstract political ideas tangible and easy for the public to understand and accept.

Influence: Rockwell's work had a profound influence on later artists and designers.He intervened in social and political issues through the form of illustration, where artworks can not only bring beauty but also become an important force for social progress.It provides me with new perspectives for thinking and solving social and political problems for my future illustration development.

which were created about marine pollution and environmental damage, using paintings so that people could more intuitively feel the environment in which marine creatures live. In the process of creation I put sea turtles, fish, seahorses, jellyfish and other creatures into the picture book so that people can clearly see the suffering of these marine creatures. When I share my picture book with my friends, they will be shocked by the scenes of pollution depicted in the illustrations, and will feel deeply worried about the state of the oceans and the environment.They may begin to think about the impact they have on the environment in their daily lives and how they can take action to reduce pollution.

In the future, I will incorporate activism into my work and continue to promote social development and progress.
