1.) When I first found out we were going to the museum at Mesa College I thought wow its going to be really big. When we got there was lots of pictures but in a little room. Malaquias Montoya exhibit wasn’t really what it seemed to be. His artwork was very much detailed and showed he was dedicated. It was interesting how most or all his paintings represented something from what I noticed. For example, one was called executed and an innocent man was killed for standing up for what he believed in and it reminded me of how Martin Luther think was killed for the exact same purpose trying to make a difference in world history. While drawing his paintings he was expressing his feelings and what he saw in the world that was happening. A particular one was also a man wrapped in the U.S. flag with bullet holes and that shows what people go through in order to give our country freedom. His artwork definitely shows capital punishment.
2.) I think it’s certainly possible. When one paints about his or her feelings that are very strong and meaningful people are forced to listen or see what they have done because they are not going to know what else to do. I also feel that think expression does not equal change
3.) Malaquias Montoya, does bring up a lot of interesting points about society and how capital punishment is dreadful, but he seems very closed minded and doesn't really express the "better" side of capital punishment its more of the negative side. It seems when a crime happens sometimes they try to convict people who have already got in trouble but not the innocent ones who are falsely mistaken. I think if someone kills a person they deserve a punishment that they will remember but learn from their mistakes.
