1. The dress of the man standing suggests he is a hard-working laborer from the lower class. His soiled and worn clothing contrasts with the other men in business suits and ties. The other men appear to be professional businessmen who are from the upper class.
2. The details suggest there is a difference of opinion or some sort of conflict. It seems to me that the men have taken time to study the booklet. The man standing is the only one who looks alone in his views.
3. I think Norman Rockwell exaggerated the size of everyone’s ears because he wanted to let people know that this meeting is very important. The different sides need to listen to each other to solve the conflict. I think that they are interested in what the speaker has to say because their eyes are on him.
4. I think that Freedom of Speech is a work of art because art is using your imagination. When you do art you can draw or paint whatever you please to do. The critics might disagree but his paintings have been in calendars, on cups and etc. all over for years. His art has stood the time and is still popular today.
I believe Rockwell was a good artist, too. Still is:) 30/30
