Reflection – It was relatively easy to find these images. With finding the first 20, I believe it got harder around 15-16. I just had to think deeper into everyday queer life and culture. I found finding these five to be easier. It became clearer to me that I didn’t have to pull from everyday life, I could use art and artists that I like as well. I think these five images will prove to be helpful when creating my Studio project. A category I created that surprised me was the inclusion of children; I don’t often think about LGBT in relation to super young children.
