Tatianna's+social+Issue 



I chose to do Emotional abuse because It takes in a lot of effect to many people I know. Everyone has probably went through this abuse at least a few times in your life. I takes a lot of courage to talk to someone about the emotions you have deep down. Many have stories that have never been told. Someone just coming up to you and saying your "UGLY" takes your self- esteem. LIttle words can become big issues like self harm. This is why I chose this as my Social Issue.

My Idea for the background is taking Newspaper putting it on top of white paper and scrapping and making a cool effect then taking some white to sponge the newspaper words. This will then be covered with some reds and blacks. Also, burning the edges of my big paper giving a better appeal. I will have red crayon dripping down the paper. Then I will have a glass effect to my main picture and some quotes.



My social Issue is about Emotional abuse which takes a big toll on me and my friends and family who I'm very close too. My connection to this piece is I've been told many mean words throughout my life time like " Slut" "Worthless" or even " Ugly." Many people say "Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt me" That is nothing but lie in my opinion. Words do hurt in the inside. It doesn't help with the insecurities I have now and when someone says such a powerful word I take it by heart even I know its not true.

Throughout the process of my project at didn't really go through any problems. But, some simple things I had to fix to make it more better. For an example I put a sheet of newspaper down then overlapped it with white paper. At, first I wasn't sure on how to fill in the parts I ripped up to show the effect of the newspaper. That is when I decided to fill it in with red as if it was blood marks. Another, problem was using red crayon and making it drip down the board. To do so I had to put the board at an angle to be able to drip it down they way I wanted it.

" Emotional abuse doesn't leave bruises it only leaves scars" So stop with the name calling think of what this may be doing to others in the inside. It may start as Emotional abuse but can become a result of self harm.
