The social issue I chose for my art II project was teenage Pregnancy. I decided to pick this topic, because I have personal experience with this subject. My mother and two of my sister had children during their teenage years. They have all had personal struggles all their life. I would like all young people to be aware of the causes and consequences of becoming pregnant as a teenager.

The process of this project was probably the most difficult. I chose the colors black and red, because they tend to have a more dramatic affect. I placed the "STOP" centered at the top, which limited what all i could do on the poster. I took the photo of a premature child that would have an emotional impact on most people, and I angled it instead of centering it. Then put the statistic below the picture. At first I though i was done, but Mrs. Ruggles disagreed. So I decided to put the siluet of a pregnant teen on the left hand side. The final thing I needed to do was connect the siluet to the rest of the poster, I did this with res paint as cords.

Overall I am very happy with the outcome of my project. It is an art of work to me. If I could go back and do anything different, it would only be to use the space better, other than that I really like the final product.I could bot see my piece of work up in a museum or anything, but I do think it turned out very well done. The colors mesh very good together, and all my ideas tied in perfectly. I feel as if this art project could persuade viewers not to get pregnant at a young age. To me the social issue of this piece of art is man created pollution toward the Earth.In this image the factory in the background is spreading smoke into the causing an unhealthy environment for the Earth. I also think man made pollution is the key issue because of the bunch of men walking from the factory. The skeleton to me represents that the Earth is being kill and it also show that man is in control of the fate of our world,because the skeleton is hold a little globe. So I believe that man made pollution is the key social issue portrayed in this artwork.

I like the way the artist created this piece of art. The colors fit together very good, and the way the lines move keeps my attention focused on the work. I also like the way they describe the social issue by using the skeleton and the factory to inform people of man made pollution. My favorite part of this piece of work was that they have a real gravel look to the artwork. All together I think this art work turned out great and it gets the point across.

I think this piece is a wonderful and touching pice of art. Everything fits together very nicely, and looks very well thought out and created. I could for sure see this work of art in a museum. All in all I really like this pice of art and I believe the artist did an amazing job at creating thins piece about man made pollution. Truth is, this is a serious issue and the artist sends a very clear message about the topic.
