Valedictory Final

Anti-Racism

I did my Valedictory project on Anti-Racism. I wanted to try and represent my view on racism. Since I'm half black and half white the topic was kind of important to me. There was also talk about it in the news. I kind of ended up editing my pictures as ads. I feel like if I had more time I would of been able to execute the project better. Out of all three of my works I finished I think I like the last one the best. I feel like it showcases anti-racism more. 

Valedictory Progress Check

My valedictory project is on Anti-Racism. I want to showcase in my works that both blacks and whites are equal. There have been lots of stories in the news about white police shooting black suspects. There has even been a protest in Baltimore about the police force being racist, because the majority of the police force is white and the majority of Maryland is black people. Therefore the blacks feel as if they aren't treated as equal. 

Surrealism Final

In this piece I tried to represent how the model, Jess, feels on the inside. On the outside Jess is a very loud and bubbly person. However on the inside her mind is clouded by stress and other stuff. I represented this by putting clouds around her head.

This piece is meant to showcase how on the outside I'm quiet and shy. I represented this in the way I posed. It also showcases how on the inside my mind is clouded. It also shows that on the inside I have so much to say but don't have the braveness to come out and say it. I represented the cloudiness of my mind by putting clouds around my head. I represented the words I wish I would have the braveness to say by using a photograph of a road. 

This piece is meant to showcase how I'm not one for attention. I like to hide at the back of the room and just kind of blend in. On the outside to people I don't know or am not close to I appear mysterious. I tried to represent this by overlaying a photograph of clouds to give the piece the mysterious foggy look to it. The piece is also meant to showcase how on the inside I have so much to say, however, I never have the braveness to speak out and say what I want. I represented that in the piece by using a photograph of the city line of New York City because the streets of New York are always bustling with life. I also used a photograph of a road to showcase the endless thoughts that I wish I had the braveness to say.  

This pieces is meant to showcase how on the outside the model, Jess, is bright, loud and bubbly. This is represented by the colorful and bright flower in the background. I then tried to represent how on the inside she's not what everyone sees. I represented it by layering clouds into her shirt.
