Some, such as war artists14, document these events. Others use their art as a powerful tool to raise awareness of issues in the news and hope to change people’s minds. For many artists, making art is a way of expressing their feelings about news stories – whether anger, sadness, or excitement. How news is reported and circulated is also something many artists explore through art, often adopting approaches used by the media their message across.” — Tate: News and Event Coursework Guide 15 Complete one of the following options below: 5https://www.artnews.com/art-news/product-recommendations/best-mixed-media-paper-pads-1234584537/ 6http://sarahogren.blogspot.com/2011/04/choosing-surface-for-your-collage.html 7https://www.hobbylobby.com/Art-Supplies/Painting-Supplies/Acrylic-Painting/Matte-Medium/p/6195 8https://www.target.com/p/mod-podge-8oz-craft-glue-satin/-/A-18837412
