Use a quote by Witcombe(2000)to define the post - modernism arist.
The post -modern artist is 'reflective' in that he/she is self -aware and consciously involved in a process of thinking about him/herself and society in a deconstructive manner, 'damasking' pretensions becoming aware of his/her cultural self in history, and accelerating the process of self -consciousness.
Witcombe (2000)
Use the grid on page 42 and 43 to summarize the list of the features of post-modernity
I think that it arranged into movements such as social and cultural pluralism, disunity, and realism. Meanwhile, the new technologies of multimedia and computer art will also be considered as they challenge the hyper-reality, major paradigms of theory and practice,
also, it tis more powerful than the 'real'. Moreover, it is one of the start of new valuation of pop culture.
Research chinese artist Ai Weiwei's "Han dynasty Urn with Coca-cola logo" (1994) in order to say what features of the work are post-modern.
Han Dynasty urn with coca-cola logo(1994)
Ai weiwei
I think , post modern works of arts are often characterised by mixing of texts and genres, and a resistance to singular fixed meanings and interpretations therefore his work is also one of the post modern's artifact.
As one of China's leading contemporay artist, he is and architect, designer, activist, iconoclast, blogger somtimes antiques dealer. Also, he goes so far as to rewrite the past with a ubiquitous emblem of commercialism by using his work. Moreover, in my opinion, his work is one of the features about post-modern because it mixed properly with historical urn and the logo represented one of the new icon in our modern society.

Research British artist Banksy's street art, and analyze the following two works by the artist to discuss how each work can be defined at post-modern.
.
'Flower Riot'- Banksy
Banksy is a British well known street artist from Bristol. Whilst he is may be most famous for his streest based stencil graffti work he also has put on a wide variety of shows in unusual location with some films.
I think one of the feature about the post modern that is a clear standardized and as we can see
his work "flower riot" has same features with post modern. Firstly, personally, he usually used one or two colour (not many colours) and in this case , probably there is the opposite thing that he might be hand in a harmful weapon but it is not. Moreover, his working related or similar with pop art (culture) .
Los Angeles (2008), Banksy
This is one of the his work, called "Los Angeles". i think that this work has surely feature of post modern because the cave man was one feature of the historical or ancient symbol but as we can see the thing which the cave man holds a tray of fast food stuff with white bone in other hand. However, i dont know why he chose the title like Los Angeles , there is no relationship with this work but i really like his work that looks symbolic things.
