Peer Review

Does well: I think the section you added is great because it connects an essential political period with the development of art.

Needs to improve: I think you need to expand and contextualize more. For example, you mention the Soweto Riots: what catalyzed the riots and how did it change the social conscience? Were Venda sculptures considered “transitional” art because they looked more similar to the traditional western cannon of art? What do the sculptures look like/depict? What is the stereotype of Black South African Art?

Important thing: Back up your claims with facts and details to make the section more clear

Organization: The organization based on the historical progression of the art is good but if you can I would mention what was happening with the art in the 80s since you have a gap between the mid 70s and mid 90s

Application to my article: My article is also about a Southern African democratic country (Botswana). Both of our articles refer to the western domination of an industry, which I have found difficult to write about in a neutral tone.

What I want to know more about: What are the main subjects of inspiration of black Post-Apartheid art? Are there any examples of politically motivated works of art? Are portrayals of Nelson Mandela and other black people common in the art work? Who are the most prominent black artists in South Africa and how does their compensation and recognition compare to white artists? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chloeluh (talk • contribs) 01:38, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
