1st Group Project

Since the first week or so of class, I've been getting together with a group of about four other girls for our group assignments. I'm rather quite excited to get started on these projects. We did the first one, the, Image Curation last week. We decided to collect images to display eating disorders in women mostly. I personally think that this topic is over done, and although it is an important issue, I think we should have expanded on the idea a little bit more. However, the pictures that I gathered were of past beauty. It was interesting to look at images of what fashion and beauty meant centuries ago. I know that back then it was considered beautiful to be plump or by todays standards "over weight" because it meant that you came from a wealthy family and could afford to eat. The other images include girls from our school and celebrities. We have yet to show our slide show in class but its complete and we are hopefully starting a new project next week. This particular project wasn't my favorite just because I'm very good with the whole technical aspect, and I didn't overly enjoy the topic my group decided on. I am however every excited to start the activist project. I have a really cool idea that I can't talk about right now ;)
