At the begining it was difficult to think of what social issue, but when we went to the research for this project.I decided to do child abuse, because I have a friend who was abused as a child and she has been through a lot. I think child abuse is bad because, it sticks with the child through their whole life; those memories are always there haunting them. But that doesn't mean that they can't make a better life for themselves.I had little trouble planning on what I was doing for example the left corner it's background was just plain black with pictures and quotes, but it was missing something so, I went back with some hot glue and made the glue drops look like tear drops as well as some cuts in the cardboard with red paint within the cuts. I would not change anything about it, in truth it turned out better than I hoped.

This piece of art shows depression of having to raise a family or at hard times with the economy for servial and such.The artist is showing the view for the women when their husband's and father's of their children leave them behind to protect his country from any threats and such.She is grief strucken because there's a good chance that he might not came home at all. She trying to put on a brave face for the children who wait inside. The emotions I feel when I look at this picture is sadness, fear ,and hope. The elements the artist uses the glum of black and white as well as the emotions on her face before she opens the door and face whats behind it in the process.It makes the viewer want to reach in help her in any way that she needs emotional or mentally and such. This picture is to me heart braking; it makes you want to cry like a baby.
