I choose to do a girl walking away because of the quote. "No one has the right to judge us because no one really knows what we have been through.They may have heard about our stories, but they have never felt what we have felt in our hearts." That quote is important to me because that is how I feel, none can judge people and their decisions in life unless they have walked in their shoes. And have endured what that person has felt! So I had the girl walking away because she is walking away from the Judgement. I put the newspaper as the background because the newspaper I feel like is writing and people judging so thats why I burnt the edges to burn off the judgement of people and keep walking forward.

The main problem in my project was the fact that I had faced was burning the edges, that was hard because I didn't want to burn off to much or set my house on fire. Also I made a mistake on writing the quote so I had to put an extra sheet of newspaper to cover my mistake.But one noticeable mistake is the arm I thought maybe if I did it in marker it would all look good ,but as you can see the marker brown was way to dark. So I decided to do it all in color pencil.

Overall I liked my project and I loved the quote to go along with it. So it was worth all the hassle to do it.

I choose Marilyn Monroe because se is one of the main reasons why girls look in the mirror and think to themselves you do no have to be a size "0" to be pretty. She was idolized in Hollywood because she had hips and boobs but she wasn't fat and she wasn't a size zero either.But instead she was really gorgeous and had a good personality too. She was really famous for her Playboy shoot that she did and many people looked down on it due to the fact she wasn't really skinny and many people also frowned on Play boy.

My journey through out this project was a very stress full one. Personally i had trouble on the face i think everything bellow the face looks really good. I used peach paint for her skin color and everything else i had use pastel crayons. But i love how her red lips stand out in the picture!

Overall i kind of like my picture except the face I hate that part. My Social Issue was Teen Pregnancy. Why i choose this? Well because it seems every where i go I see a teen girl my age with a belly bump. At our School even there was a couple girls pregnate. It just makes me wonder where are their parents in all this. Also this is really hits home for me due to the fact my biological mom was a teen mom and had seven kids she didn't graduate high school because she had to try to take care of us kids. And well she didn't end up being a good mom.

The hardest part of this project was the clay person. I struggled to make the arms holding the bump. The crib was very easy to make ,I took a huge box of card board and cut it up, but I painted it brown so it looks more like a crib. I do not know if you can see the books that the child is sitting on I incorporated the books because most teen moms do not make it through highschool. Not because they do not want to ,but they have a baby to take care of.

All in all I look at my project and I feel like I could of done better. But I felt like I was slacking so much which made my project look half done. My favorite part of my project is my clay figure.So instead I learned a lesson to make sure I do not procrastinate. So there you have it try not to be a teen mom.
