Description
Art 100A project#2 - Cropping assignment
graphite on bristol board
September 20, 2012
each 12"x15"
~9 hrs altogether
[each is its own drawing, not a zoom!]

(my art analyses are just a bunch of brainstormed notes thrown together)
Theme - marginalization
Glass is reflective and distortive, much like media warps society’s idea of physical beauty and reflects the resulting “ideal” body image back on society.
also has transparency - people can be made to feel invisible because of how others automatically judge and exclude them;
different shapes=emphasize differences in body image; tall and thin, hourglass, curvy, etc;
by zooming in, we see that all are beautiful.

pretty happy with how this turned out, given that we only had 2 days to complete all three drawings!

used 3 separate photographs as reference: [link] [link] [link]
