I chose this piece because I have a big interest in nursing. I actually plan to be a nurse someday so doing this project is a great inspiration of mine. The most difficult part of this piece would either be her feet or her legs. You have to be able to get the three dimensional angles of the feet in there. The problems I thought I'd have with this painting were the feet. The most problems I actually had with the work were the legs. The feet were actually pretty simple. Her right leg was weird and lumpy looking I didn't understand how to get it exact. My solution to this problem was to keep on trying and just try to get the lumps right. Overall I thought this art work turned out good. If I could change anything I think it would be how I the background doesn't look well blended. I hate that about it. Thought I do believe my piece was a success because the girl turned out very well.

Stephanie- Environmental Figures

Exam:

1. I chose my theme, bullying, for my social issue because it's a big an the world today and so many kids have to live with this issue everyday. I myself have been bullied and it hurts, sometimes even kills people. I think that we need to get across to people that bullying is wrong and it needs to stop before matters get worse.

2. This project has definitely been an experience. Some problems that I encountered with this was mostly my thinking process. I had no idea how to set up my thoughts into real life. Eventually I figured it out. The other problem I had was my clay figure. I wasn't able to keep all the body parts attached so I switched what I was doing. There were a lot of decisions I had to make with this project. One was how I was going to set up how my project will flow together. I decided I would take pictures of three different scenes. The bully scene, the suicide scene, and the abuse scene.

3. I thought that my piece was pretty successful. It persuades people to stop bullying. The thing that didn't work was my clay figure which won't be in the project. The reason this did not work was because it kept breaking and I wasn't able to piece it back together.

4. If I had a chance to do this project differently I would definitely make a stronger clay figure. That is the most important part of the project.

Critique:

In this photo of critique there is a lot going on. There's a skinny lion with people coming out of his body. Also a bird that's leaking yellow liquid in the shape of Africa. Then there was a bull with arrows in his back. Another part was the chess board on fire. Lastly there was a hand coming out of the ground holding a phone.

My first clue of what I think is happening is the lion. He's too skinny looking. I feel like this represents Hunger. Something in this pictures shows that starvation has a big role in what the piece is truely about.

My second clue is the telpehone. I feel like this represents technology of today. It's also balancing humans and earth. This represents how the people and their technology is taking over the earth.

My las clue is the chess board on fire. I feel like this represents war. We the people win.

In conclusion I believe the painting means that we the people are taking over the world with technology and taking over the world and creating world hunger.
