As in the previous semester we did a lot of collaborative projects that were based around subjects related to feminism for this project we decided to crate a piece that would from one side showcase how women have been dependent on the male “greatness” but from the other side it would be a piece celebrating the female body.
We decided to crate large scale figures using a variation of tangled lines that from a distance form a clear female silhouette but up close look just like a bunch of randomly scribbled lines. Making the drawings illegible is purposeful as it is a direct comment on disguising women’s contribution to the society.
Concept drawings
Process
- Creating the concept drawings
- Creating the digital drawings
- Prototyping – using a regular projector to display the image on a large scale paper
- Creating the final piece – printing out the digital drawings on acetate sheets and using an overhead projector instead

Creating the final piece
Feedback
Prototype stage
- painting the walls white
- considering using different thicknesses of lines
- considering using different shades of pink to emphasise certain body parts?
- do we want to make them legible or no?
Final stage
- beautiful
- it doesnt in any way create the feeling that the portrayed. women are objectified
- taking scale into consideration
- art schol classroom – good choice of scener
