Artist Statement
Animal Farm
In the book Animal Farm by: George Orwell took place during the Russian Revolution in 1917. On Manor Farm the animals were tired of being treated horribly by their owner, Mr. Jones. So they finally revolt against him and drive him out. Later on in the book they change the name from Manor Farm to Animal Farm.
Although in the photograph there is a human on all fours, it did not happen in the book. In this scene the two head pigs are putting up a sign that once read Manor Farm on the fence and the human is on all fours like an animal. The hat on the brown pigs head symbolizes his authority as leader and what time period it may be. The picture was enhanced and edited in Photoshop, because a red sign need to be edited out. The struggles our group went through to make this picture were to have everyone tell a story in the picture.

QQC 2
Question: Why did Nicholas II have to give up his throne?
Comment: I think he gave up his throne because people started to blame him for their straving and being poor. And they believed that he lacked the qualities of being a ruler

This online database helped me in many ways to understand about the Russian Revolution. How There were food riots, demonstrations and a mutiny at the Petrograd Garrison in February 1917. Which forced Nicholas the second abdicate, to give up his throne, during the war. And a Provisional Goverment led by lebrals and soicallists who proclaimed and hoped to pursue war more effinctly.

The Russia Reloution
In the story, the animals are now taking over the farm and kicking out all the humans. Now they sing The Beasts of England and their chant is " Four legs good, two legs bad! ".
Back Round of The Revolution:
It was taken up in 1917
Happened because the Poor would get more....poor. And the rich were....rich. It was unfair.
