Concentration Statement

My concentration follows the progression of women through the decades, beginning in the early 1900s. It shows the stereotypes and gender roles of women as they went through their daily lives. The photos will be in black and white with selective color, increasing in color as women gain more freedoms in society. I will end the concentration with a self portrait to show that I am only here today because of the women before me. This is important to me as a woman in the 21st century because I am only able to be who I am, to be able to vote, live on my own, not be defined by a man because of the women that fought for their children and grandchildren, me.

Weekly Challenge 8

This challenge was an opposite media/ type of work. I chose architecture and did a rough outline of my dream house. The first floor is to scale where 1 inch is 4 feet. The second floor isn't as much to scale.
