Feminist Photos Revised : Essence of Gender

I had to revise my feminist photos and I have to say that this was fun to do. I went with the essence of Gender and I got all dressed up in a dress, shiny necklace, bracelet and heels and went and did things that normally you would see a guy do and ended up getting dirty doing it. I've actually done all the things in the photos back when I was in highschool but I wore overalls and I wanted to dress up nice and attempt to do the same things like I did back then.

Big Idea Evaluation

My Big idea piece was to create a self portrait out of my handwriting and I must say that I enjoyed doing it, at first it was difficult to come up with what to say but then I just started writing what came to mind, how I felt and it ended up being like my own personal journal. I purposefully made the writing to where you can't read what I've written since some things are very personal to me and then others are just thoughts about people that I dont want them to read. Creating the shadows was sort of a challenge because I didn't want to und up going to dark and just ruining some parts but I think I achieved it. The critique was ok, I kind of wished I had gotten some more feedback on what I needed to improve on, for example like wether or not I needed to put in a background, but really I think it went well. I personally enjoyed it and I think thats all that matters sometimes.

The Finished Big Idea

The beginning

Inflatables evaluation

In the beginning of the inflatables project things weren't turning out so well because we were trying to make things way more complicated than the structure needed to be, but in the end things went really well. We felt pretty good about the shower stall and the fact that it could hold more than 4 people but not a lot of people wanted to enter it (a few did but not a lot) and even though most people didn't enter the shower everyone that walked by wanted to draw on it which made it a big hit we thought. The wind was a big problem because even though we had things to weigh down the shower, if there was a big gust of wind the structure would try to fall over. Maggie liked her performance piece for the shower because she said it was nice to sleep in which is something we all really needed. In the end we ended up not using a lot of energy because we used a small fan instead of leaf blowers to inflate the shower.
