During this topic I learned many new skills. When we began this discussion we learned about the Guerilla Girls and how they communicate and express themselves through their work in a different way than mosts other. The Guerilla Girls are a worldwide known group of artists known for complaining about art and the discrimination against women artists For this topic we made a complaint piece and without words expressed it through our artwork. I create an original piece of work for this and for my complaint it was having too much homework. I stacked pieces of paper on a board and put a pencil through it with a paper that said “help” on it. During this we came upon a few problems. We weren’t sure how to keep all the papers together and keep the pencil in the middle, we were able to solve it by keeps and nail in the middle of the papers and breaking the pencil to put on top. I was able to develop skills and took as risk in this because I used a new material to complete it. To put the hole in the papers we used an electric drill and I had never used one before for an art project. After we had finished our project we all collaborated and went around the room observing the work and giving each other tips on whether the project was finished or if they should add something else. The next project that we worked on was never see never will. For my project I used ink and watercolor and painted an earth and had fingers holding it up by a string and a lamp in the corner that represented the sun. After I finished all my work I reflected on it and discussed with my classmates and asked if I needed anything more to finish it. I really enjoyed doing these two projects because we had a lot of independence and could create and interpret it the way we wanted.
