Brutal Illustrations

For lesson this week, we had a group discussion regarding on the artist’s brutal illustrations which shows how Hong Kong is nothing like china.

 Our group actually that the artist was one-sided, bias. This is because the artist was only one point of view. Therefore, we thought it wasn’t right to judge Chinese or support the artist’s view on Chinese and Hong Kongers.Secondly, our group thought the artist was trying to make a point. We thought the artist was trying to tell others that Hong Kongers do not like being associated with Chinese. Thirdly, with reference to with the second point we also think the artist feels the need to prove that Hong Kongers are much civilized as compared to the Chinese.

Personally, I thought the artist created this illustration because he couldn’t take the criticism he was getting, which is controversial to what he had illustrated. 
I also thought some of his images were not relevant, for example, the image about the currency, did not prove anything. I also thought some of the images were simply rude as most of the illustrations were bias and were the artist’s perspective; I thought that the artist did not do much research as every country has different people and it is wrong to judge a country based on a group of people as everyone is not the same.
