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.

  1. A good initial list, as was discussed in class! One note of awareness is to be certain to explore both sides of every story and topic. As there always is two—and knowing both sides makes your work stronger.

    Especially with the web being as ever editable as it is, knowing the originator/source and validating their credibility is critical. Plus exploring deeper to their sources as to the content presented.

    You have some good finds here, I look forward to final statements on Tuesday!
