MAS110: SIGNS: ROAD RULES AND SAFETY/REBELLION


SIGNS: ROAD RULES AND SAFETY/REBELLION

Better a thousand times careful than once dead - Proverb


The discipline of aesthetics has tended, especially for the past century, to focus on encounters with the fine arts and, to a lesser extent, with nature. 
Signs act as a safety mechanism for drivers, in this case, in which rules and regulations are enforced by such simple inanimate objects. Signs act as a precaution by the state and throughout world as a way to make drivers and individuals obey limits and conduct. Without signs there would chaos on our streets as there would be nothing to follow or to rebel against. My sub theme being Road Rules, Safety and Rebellion shines through in this video as signs offer the choice to neglect and rebel from societal laws of conduct and driving. Signs also remind drivers to act responsibly. 
Rebellion is present in todays society amongst the roads and without obeying signs, an individual could be fined or worse, killed. Signs are a mundane subject but also show true aesthetic beauty, as shown in my video, as their colours differentiate and also act as a law enforcer to every individual and especially those on the road.
