Answer to Question 1

Art has the power to achieve one's goal for personal statements as a reaction against those in control and the artwork can convey a sympathetic or unsympathetic viewpoint.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nature and our relationship to it are themes that have often been addressed through art. Thomas Cole's The Oxbow, which depicts the great looping bend (oxbow) of the Connecticut River as seen from the heights of nearby Mount Holyoke, in Massachusetts is an example of this theme.
