10/31/07 critique

After discussion today I decided to choose idea 1. However, I will not be dealing with an international concept. Instead I will relate to a western ideology only. As an artist I am suppose to have my work have some personal connect and still have concern for the general public. I feel like significant art can be created without logic. At the end of the presentation I mentioned how I feel about women belonging to men and my opinion on verse 3:16 from genesis. Basically I disagree with the inequality between genders to be a balance, but religiously I fear to disagree. To me I can relate my distress to disagree directly to expectations of my upraising. Again, I am able to connect religion’s dictation of women to women’s self- objectification for men. In my storyline I will launch from eve’s aim to tempt Adam with apple to women’s attempt to lure men with their sexuality. At the end our game of temptation only makes us game pieces to throw around leaving us controlled by men.
Idea 1

I want to connect genesis 3:16 where Eve is told to belong to man after she picks the apple to how women are recognized as the dependent sex in different cultures. In the story line, it will start out with eve picking the apple and the apple will turn into a graph of the world. I will then create illustrated clippings to support my idea from different cultures. The storyline ends where even takes a bit of the apple and passes it to Adam for a kiss, referring to women as being the “reason for man’s faults.”

Idea 2

I want to concentrate on the ideal American woman. In this storyline, I will begin with a woman window-shopping where she comes along a wall of televisions. She begins watching documentation for men to coach their wives. The movie is a brainwashing technique and she walks away like a “stepford” wife.

Idea 3

In this concept, I will demonstrate a girl’s seek for happiness with love and connect her reasoning with fairy tales. She will take a journey that will duplicate many tales into one where she finds happiness with her prince charming. In this composition, like the others I want the style to be similar to Saul Bass. However, this one will be more like a fantasy
