For my project I want to explore the themes of feminism and how through different artists, women can be portrayed in many ways. Including the similarly false reality of how groups of women are perceived through colour and through Pop Art as well as producing image similarly to the layout of a comic book.

This matters to me as I feel strongly towards how women are portrayed in media and how perspectives especially how they are portrayed im media is important, as the same image can be interpreted in many ways.

Through the theme of Union I believe that it can relate to my project as my goal is to explore togetherness/ contrasted with perception of the same group of people. I want to explore for the same main goal whilst presenting this group of togetherness and unity through objectification and known as the “male gaze”, therefore making this togetherness challenging to maintain and unite people. I plan to include inspired images through the arts of Roy Lichtenstein and how his art can create a different point of view towards women. I want to include inspired images by Andy Warhol as his famous collaged work includes the photographs of sex symbol Marylin Monroe and Andie. Juxtaposing this, I want to include the inspiration behind Christina Bloom’s work in my own photos as she focuses on the suffragette movement and women who fight for equality, empower and as well flight for other women like themselves. I would like to include her archival work and combine them in my work, potentially putting the work into pop art in itself from it’s monochromatic appearance.

I want to develop my project by creating a collage throughout my presentation of my final work similarly to Andy Warhol with his first step inspired work in order to secondly create his infamous pop art pieces. Before creating his pop art pieces he would create these black and white photo strips, almost like one out of a photobooth, to draw ideas from and almost use it as a “muse”.

For the final project, I want to present my study in a photo book. As a result, I intend to produce many collages of the same pop art inspired images so that I will have a large variety of images that I can pick from as well. I have plans to begin my study for this project as soon as possible to allow me the most amount of time to compete.
