This was harder than I thought...

So, it was a lot of trying and failing on the first try of gallery looking. I had a lot of "We're all full for two years"... or "We aren't taking student art". I was also surprised to find the number of placing claiming to have gallery space, then not having it when I got there to look! I was blown away. I think it shouldn't be allowed to have "gallery" in your shop name, if you aren't, in fact, a gallery.
I couldn't believe that out of the 5 hours that I spent looking, only two places were promising. And one wasn't even open! Someone else told me about it.

I sent out a whole bunch of emails to galleries in Atlanta for information, hopefully they will get back to me soon, so we can get the ball rolling.

Exploring reasons why.

How Toys Teach Children Their Place within Society

Gender Bias in Education

Gender Socialization and Its Effects on American Girls

 10 Cases of The Bystander Effect

What Would You Do?

Fluxus

Scores <Print. 

Above are some of thing subjects I've considered for my projects in the advanced photography class. As an art major, and a pyschology major, all of these subjects I have a firm grasp on. The gender identity for young girls is something both that I was subject to, and I feel is a problem that our society struggles with even today. I would want to explore the idea of a vessel of a child that is filled by  society by what they believe this child should be. It would be commentary of current social roles placed on girls, and how they have not really changed in several hundred years, no matter the feminist activism present.

More musings on the subjects tomorrow in class.
