Representing Assignment

As we continue to work hard on our projects here are a few ideas that I want you to consider.

1. Who is going to be effected by this work? (Audience)
2. What do you want them to feel? (Purpose)
3. What is the reason for each element that you are purposefully adding to your work? How does that font, colour, image, word etc. enhance your message?


BE INTENTIONAL!

  1. 1. my audience for this project would be of 12+ because my project is going to be of prostitution and poverty and women’s rights in India and Nepal.

    2. the purpose of this project is that people will understand what is happening in the world and they will try to help all the children that are in poverty and the sex trade so that they can help the best way that they can.

    3. for the cover of my photo album there is going to be righting saying my bundle is light but my burden is heavy. Then in the inside I’m going to have pictures of poverty and prostitution and I’m going to have them all mixed up in the book with maybe quotes from people about the subject in the project.

    1. My poster is going to hopefully affect everyone.
    2. I want people to feel sorry for these girls that are trapped by unknown forces in these places.
    3. In my poster I have a girl trying to escape from a room but she is being held back. She is being held back by a magnet that is next to a picture of her family that shows why she is trapped in this place. I am going to have other objects in the background showing what kind of a place she is in.

    1. Who is going to be effected by this work? (Audience)
    I hope to effect everyone, but I think that the best result will come from people who have been personally effected by the trade, or people who understand the situation.
    2. What do you want them to feel? (Purpose)
    I want my painting to evoke an emotion of guilt, sadness, or anger.

    3. What is the reason for each element that you are purposefully adding to your work? How does that font, colour, image, word etc. enhance your message?
    I purposefully made the painting dark, dank, and full of shadow to show the hopelessness of the situation, and I had the open window signify a false sense of hope of escape.

  4. 1. This project will affect anyone who can read. It tells people that it is good to think of alternate endings.

    2. I want people to feel that in order to achieve things, first you must work hard to get up to it. (Portrayed through Lakshmi's life)

    3. I purposely made the paper look old so that it would seem like something in that time era.

  5. 1. The audience I am trying to reach will be anyone who can make a difference. Everyone can make a difference.

    2. I want people to realize that this is a major problem and I want them to know how these girls are drawn in to things like this.

    3. I am going to draw a picture. My picture will have a little girl and a bright, happy tree. Little does this girl know, the tree is being taken over by weeds. This will represent how these girls can be tricked into prostitution.

  6. 1. The people that are going to be affected by my project are going to be the young teens and older people. Both of these ages are going to be affected because the images and words will both interact with them

    2. What I want the audience to feel is that things need to be changed in a society that Lakshmi lives in. LAkshmis life was very different after she left her village. We need to realize sex trade is harming young girls and something needs to happen.

    3. All of the elements in my project all have a purpose. My front cover is going to be a brown cloth. The purpose of it is to tell people what Lakshmi's background is and what kind of society she lives in. Teh words are going to be in a font based on how she was feeling when she said that word in the book. Half of the images are going to be in black and white the other images are going to be in color. The purpose in this is to tell people that Lakshmi's life is very different from when she live din the village and when she lived at Happiness House.

    Project: Clay Sculpture
    (brown hand with jewlery holding a money bag full of cracked hearts).

    1) The audience of my sculpture will be varied. For example, children 10 and under will notice that the hearts are broken and are trapped in the bag. It will give a sad feeling about what happened to those hearts, and give a strange want to help the hearts to the younger ages.
    The older ages will notice the brown hand that has jewlery is rich and is the owner of the broken hearts. It will most likely give them an image that the hearts are slaves or 'used' by the hand,trapping them in the money bag.

    2)I want the younger ages to feel a need to help and the older ages to be aware that slavery still exists today!

    3)The brown hand represents Mumtaz and has bangles and rings, the traditional jewlery. The rings and bangles gives an image that the hand is rich. (Mumtaz is rich because she used the girls for prostitution for her own gain). The bag of money will seem to be stuffed with broken hearts. The broken hearts represent the girls lives, shattered and trapped in this gross new life.

    1. My poster is meant to affect everyone. It is about how girls have gotten there innocence stolen from them.

    2. I want them to feel sorry for these girls! They got their innocence stolen from them, against their will. People need to know that they are stuck in this sex trade because they have to help their family.

    3. The music is sweet and light because that used to be how the girls were. Until they got trapped. "I'm lost in a sea of people where no one knows my name." that symbolizes how she isn't even recognized as a person. She is in the city illegally and how she can’t do anything or go to the police because they don't know she exists. "I tried to share my voice and stand against you; you whipped and staved me until I gave in." This symbolizes how Lakshmi didn't what to do the sex trade and tried to stay strong but they whipped her and starved her and finally she gave in.

    1. My work will effect and be directed to those who have read the book and understand Lakshmi's living conditions.

    2. I want my work to act as a visual aid to my audience to better understand Lakshmi's way of living and have a sense of pity for her. Also to show that there are people in the world who are in the same position as her.

    3. I am adding a brownish color to the bundle and bedroll to give that tattered and worn look. As well as making the bedroll small and thin to show that her family doesn't have the money to afford the good stuff. I am intentionally making her items (hairbrush, notebook, and bowl) look like they are in poor condition and have been used a lot to say that they do not have the money to buy new and clean supplies frequently.

    1. My painting is meant for everyone. It is about how Lakshmi was cheated throughout the book.

    2. I want them to know and feel how she felt (ex. Sad, hopeful, angry, etc.) and have a better understanding of how she was cheated and how she dealt with it.

    3. I am using my painting to show the different emotions she had before, during and after she was cheated. I am also using chocolate loonies to represent rupees, and how much her and her family were promised and how much they actually got.
