    Default School Visual Arts BOW

    For those who don't know, a BOW is a Body of Work.

    This was my Body of Work for my Term 1 assessment this year. We had to create 7 artworks that represented a journey. Mine was based on the perception of the female body image throughout time. It's meant to be viewed as a horizontal image, with all of them joining on to eachother in order, like so.

    Brownie points for anyone who can spot the symbolism.









    And these are 2 additional leadup images my teacher made me do. Once again, representing a journey. Even I can't spot the symbolism in these ones.



    I got full marks for this assessment, but it wasn't chosen for the school art exhibition. Bummer! But my photography will be exhibited instead.

    Not sure if this has anything to do with it, or it's significance, but her "shadow" image always has the face crossed out. Was that it?

    Well, aside from the crossed out faces, and the fact that you can never see her eyes, I'm stumped. How about a hint?

    I gave it about 5 seconds, then gave up. I was never really all that good at "spotting the symbolism" in other peoples work. I'm pretty good at spotting the "symbolism" in my own work though. :p

    I drew a monkey inside of a frat house reading script cards in front of a camera to millions of people all over the world. Can anyone guess the symbolism there? lol jk jk
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
