What How Why - Art

my theme is: identity

reputation/labels/standards/perfection

body issues/self image

why:
i chose these ideas because they are all quite deep and personal things,
everyone is different and its interesting to think about and talk to other people about.
I find it all pretty intriguing and personally its about expressing
my ideas and views on all of these things, rather than raising awareness
and how i understand it. I can use ideas experiences and personal journey i guess as well.
I'm passionate about it because i love the deepness of it and how everyone
is affected in some way by it so it can be relatable as well. I'm sure that there is a lot of
information and different stories out there relating to the ideas and theme
which is helpful and good to look and reflect on.

two mediums:
drawing and photography

visual symbols:
- black & white vs colour
- hands
- eyes
- nail art
- makeup


idea:
natural body (natural hair, no makeup)
each image a close up on a body part or whatever like eye, hand, hair
each photo/body part represents a beauty standard like painted nails/makeup
end result being a stereotypical person or someone with all the 'beauty' standards with
marking or words or signs? girl being oblivious to it or knowing and preferring natural?
have a comparison with natural and beauty standards
drawing for one side/painting for other
black and white drawings but have the natural beauty pop through small colours
