Kaitlyn's+Public+announcement



-I chose this theme because I don't like when people call you something and it sticks. Whether it is a name like failure, or a political opinion. People change and I don't like when people say, "Yep you're a dumb blonde" to people I know. It sticks and people, even though you are very smart, will see you as dumb. Hair color shouldn't say anything about the person IQ nor their character. When I get called something I don't necessarily agree with I really want it to be changed. I had been thinking about it for a while and it's effects on people and when I was asked what I would do for the project, that came to mind and I have been researching it ever since. -With the figure it was hard to work with the persons head. I didn't know how to make it look good. I eventually found a lump on the head and make it into a bun so it would be a woman. Then one of the legs kept falling off. It took almost three art days to fix. I eventually got it to stay with my teachers help and it was finished. When it came to the box part of the project I put two boxes together and it somehow worked out. Then I liked the idea of "Hello my name is..." cards and putting names people have been labeled with on them. It is called the Labeling theory. -I think that my piece is fairly successful in persuading my audience. Making sure they understand the meaning. The figure is being tied down and held back by her labels, when really her only label is "ME" or herself. Labels hold people back, keep them from growing into their own person. Instead they are living up to the label which isn't what most would want. I think that the strings are working well and so are the name tags in the background. If I got another chance at this project I would change a few things. I would make the character more... well so that they would stand out more. I would give her a pony tail and not a bun so that it was more obvious what gender she was. I would make her arms out and up with her facing upward like she is breaking free of the labels. I would also add more labels on the inside. Cover it with them. Over all I like how the project ended. I would like if I could redo it and have more time and thought but I also like how it worked out now.
