Discuss why an artist might choose to create a mixed media work. Cite examples from the chapter in your discussion
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. In mixed media, artists can violate the integrity of painting as a medium as in Robert Rauschenberg's Monogram.
2. Artists can extend the space of the painting from a two- to a three-dimensional space, as in Kara Walker's Insurrection! (Our Tools Were Rudimentary, Yet We Pressed On).
3. Artists can bring other media, such as photographs, into the work to create a direct means of commenting on social or political environments, as in Martha Rosler's Gladiators.
4. Artists can combine diverse objects to coexist in the same space, as in Rauschenberg's Monogram.
