The Goal: Art is meant to serve a social purpose. It is meant to
         construct the way that people see the world.

 The Process: Simple with BOLD colors and lines. Also lots of
                           RED.

The Look: Not always abstract. Sometimes there are references to
          people, particularly “average-Joe-workers”
