When The Art Gets Political

This week we had an art week at my school, and i got the subject agriculture.. and out from that we had to make 2 political paintings. First when i heard that i was about to die.. cause it sounded so boring! and we had to be in groups with 2 persons.. but they boy i should be in group with never showed up, so i had to do it all by myself! xD .. well it ended up with being an OK week.. but i'm still glad that i've weekend now.

The first is about battery hens (spelled right?) And about how bad they live, and the chicken is in two parts, and you can see the skeleton, to indicate how bad they feel.. and then the text says "Where do your eggs come from?"
And is only made out of coal and chalk.

The other painting.. was i in bit of a hurry with, because i spend too much time on the first.
But it's about pollution in the ground water.. and if the farmers dont stop to use nitrate in their manure.. it will effect the drinking water in the end, and the animals.
The painting is also inspiret of Ai Weiwei.. if you know him!
and it's just made of normail paint lol!
and the text says "protect your local rat and your own health"
