Question

Using your knowledge about affirmative art and resistive art, what are some reasons why an artist would choose one over the other?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The terms affirmative art and resistive art are related to the forms and art presented in Deaf Culture. Each term is related to the form and message that the artist wants to pass on to his audience, highlighting elements and experiences of Deaf Culture's culture.

Affirmative art would be chosen by artists who wish to convey a message of acceptance, overcoming and empowering people with hearing efficiency. In this type of art, the artist will express himself in a progressive, beneficial, colorful way and will pass on happy and overcoming messages.

Resistive art will be chosen by artists who wish to represent how people with hearing impairments are oppressed and suppressed within society. In these works of art, the artist can express himself in a negative way, showing sad and oppressive themes that express how much discrimination against the deaf is harmful.
