I need to draw a picture that represents poverty...?

Question

Got any ideas? i cant draw people, so please dont include them

Answer 1

The best advice I could give you is to send you into a neigborhood that is poverty stricken so you can envision this 'art' for yourself. Poverty is no laughing matter and if you must undertake the vision of drawing it, I don't know how you can 'not' draw people. Poverty stinks. It smells of trash, lint, broken dishes, old mattresses thrown onto piles and heaps. Poverty is garbage cans filled with wood and paper and the poor and homeless in what little clothing they can muster standing around warming their hands in hopes that someone will bring by some hot coffee. Poverty is an old man talking to himself with chapped lips and foul breath, muttering about a wife and child he once hand. Poverty is a young homeless girl with a guitar under her arms hoping she will not have to sell it in order to eat. Poverty is the faceless man and his daughter pressed against the window of the busy IHOP. Poverty is the youngster pulling his bike out of the pile that the landlord has had the sherriff throw out along with his pictures and family. Poverty smells, poverty is hated, poverty is taboo, poverty is disgusting, poverty is broken windows in run down apartment buildings long since taken over by the drug dealers. Poverty is shame and humiliation, bulletin boards that rise high above the ground and over bridges but still have graffitti printed names of gangs and lovers too. Poverty is the darkness on a sunny day and the rain that pours down and cleans the alley for one more day of poverty.Poverty is in the mind, poverty can dress itself up and walk down the street with an empty pocketbook, short skirt and high heels selling wares that words won't allow me to write. Poverty is telling your child there is no such thing as Santa Claus so he won't expect presents in alley way. Poverty is the drunk man who tells jokes and old stories about his former life to the kids and for pentance, they give him coins. At the end of the day, he has enough to buy himself a shot to drown inside his pain and lifeless, loveless life. Poverty is the church on the corner which was burned down because they tried to clean up the community and help the poor and perverted souls who live there. Someone started poverty and it continues to squeeze the life out of as many as it can. Poverty is no joke and for many, a paycheck away.

This is a poem I wrote and I hope it gives you some idea of poverty.

Answer 2

I saw this picture once that i felt, so represented poverty. It was a mother and a child sitting on a road curb all dishevelled and the image was in the middle of a drawing of a chipped plate. I know you said you don't draw people but I hope this description helps. I mean if you think of ordinary things that you take for granted that poor people may not necessarily have. Like the chipped plate for example. You would normally throw away a chipped plate right? But people in need will consider a chipped plate a luxury and if the plate has food on it, it would be a blessing indeed. I come from the Philippines and we have such a big gap between the rich and the poor. It really is sad.

Lack of precise information. an example the president of Botswana has received the award for best global governance in 2008,but very few people knew, if he had not had a war and I do not know what other tragedy that shall have made the news in every country in the world Botswana or Namibia with People not know (until the day he will be a civil war I do not know what tragedy) Yet it is these two countries are becoming the country's richest continenet (95% of the population are escolarise, the government invested heavily in education)

Answer 5

I went into an old man's house once and he had just finished dinner. On the table was a dirty plate, a fork, a can of dog food and a bottle of ketchup. The house was spotlessly clean, and he had used old newspaper for a table cloth. Sounds a bit gross, but it was so poignant. He was too proud to accept any help from anyone.

Answer 6

A depiction of an empty plate? Or one with extremely little on it? A house in terrible repair, with broken down cars in the yard? A child's letter to Santa, asking for basic necessities?
A few thoughts, and good luck.
