Earth is the Ultimate Commodity
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? I was inspired by my Environmental Science course to create a poster about environmentalism. Intersectionality discussions in this Art, Design and Change course inspired me to incorporate both environmentalism and capitalism. Many people in today’s society have lost touch with the natural world and only see its value in terms of how they can capitalize on the earth’s resources to make more money. Very little thought is given to how that will affect the future of the planet, human lives, and ironically the future economy. The goal of these posters is to change people’s minds about what holds the most value.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? This is a series of three posters.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? I created the base poster by first sketching an outline, then used colored pencils and markers to finish it. Cutouts of a dollar sign and a Going out of Business sign were placed on top of the base poster to make a series.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1008/thumbnail.jp
Lesbians Fight Back!!
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? As a lesbian artist, I believe it is my responsibility to use my voice not only to stand up for the LGBTQ+ community but also to advocate for other marginalized communities.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? Combining my identity as a lesbian and the responsibility that I feel to stand up for others outside of my own communities, I created my poster based on the topic of lesbians as intersectional advocates. I used an overlapping sticker design to highlight a multitude of issues that I feel passionate about. After looking at my poster, I hope you feel inspired and energized to get out there and be the best intersectional advocate you can be!
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? First, I created a mood board with images to inspire my poster. I then created a digital sketch so that I could refine my layout. Next, I used India ink on thick watercolor paper for the background, and I sketched my design on top with pencil. Then I went through and used acrylic paint for the main color of each sticker. Finally, I used paint markers and art pens for the lettering and details. Additionally, I added some glitter to the diamond embellishments.https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1012/thumbnail.jp
A Woman\u27s Place
No full textWHY THIS SUBJECT? This past election was both a reminder of how far we have come regarding female representation in office, and also a reminder of how much further we have to go. Though, I wanted this piece to not only inspire those who have political aspirations, but to women everywhere who have ever been held back in their field from their career aspirations because they were a women.
WHAT SHOULD WE KNOW ABOUT THE WORK? I am inspired by strong women who are resilient and dedicated to improving the welfare of others. The women depicted in this poster are powerful women in society who have personally inspired me one way or another.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROCESS? Created in Photoshop, I used a combination of painting techniques and layering, to create the images seen. When coming up with the phrase that I wanted on my poster, I wanted to mock the idea of a stereotypically saying that has been forced upon women. In this case my inspiration came from the sexist idea that women belong in the house/kitchen. I wanted to turn this phrase on its head and make a mockery of that idea showcasing that women are capable of being more -- they can be whatever they aspire to be. I also experiment with text positioning in order to convey the overarching idea that WOMEN BELONG EVERYWHERE .https://digitalcommons.colum.edu/capturingprotest/1019/thumbnail.jp
