Why did I chose Teen Pregnancy to do for my world wide cause because with millions of teen Pregnancy happing all around the world I thought it would be a good thing to show the community and to help their loved ones with keeping this not a problem in are towns and city’s.

My personal connection is my mother was Pregnant her first time at 19 teen this was a big change in my mothers life when my older brother was born into her life and I’m sure it is a big change for some of my friends and class mates that became pregnant at a young age along with 700,000 teens that get pregnant every year.

Problems and Decisions I made though out this clay figure art project. Some of the problems I had making this clay figure was making her legs and belly where the hardest because the belly had to be perfect and round. When I was working on her legs one would always look better then the other. Her curly hair would always brake when trying to move the clay around to make a curl the clay would break and crack because it became dry. The decisions I had to make were to make her hair curly or strait. Also to make her look pregnant but also have her holding another baby in her arms as well. Well my Clay Pease was getting ready to be cooked I worked on the background of the Pease and the hard parts of this was making the Pease’s of glass stay hot glued together then getting the right pictures and poems to make it pop out at you. And covering enough space so there were no open spots.

Is my piece successful? Well it is defiantly and eye opener for girls all over to either make the right choices or make the right choice for their child. When I look at my peace I see that there are bad and good things about my choice for the worldwide cause because it shows good things about if you were to get pregnant as a teen what you could do for your child. There are also some bad things like how many teens get pregnant every year or how it messes with your life as a teen in high school.

What is not “working” and why? things that were not working for me would be my clay figures hair after having it go though the oven both times it started to break of my clay figure so i had to try to get it to glue back together. others would be the background parts to make sure that their were not to many open spots.

If you had a chance to do this project again, what would you do differently? I would work a little bit harder on the hair of my figure and maybe think of a better background that I could maybe would make my art pop more and maybe have it touch your heart better then what mine looks like now.

Jessi Miller Art 2 Critique of a Social Issue Painting

What I believe is going on in this picture, when I look at this picture I see a lot of damage happening on the chest board with the fire and burning of the board. Also in the background there is a hand holding a phone that is holding the earth that looks like it has been half eaten and our first President George Washington. Something other then that would be the Loin with the faces come off the side and the look on the Lions face just makes me feel like it’s in pain. With all of this happening in this picture it looks like maybe a painting is of the end of the world, as we know it with are passed Presidents and laws of nature screaming at us to stop.

When looking at this Lion with some of are Presidents faces coming from its side. And the look of pain and loss on the lions face. It make’s me think of War and the pain it causes the world and our counties people. It also made me think of why would are Presidents be on the side of this pained Lion? So I thought about it we have not always won everything we have fought for and that could be one of the reasons. When I look at the Chest board it makes me think of a war. The fire making it looks like a loss of the other burning country that was lost in the battle of war.

Something that I also saw in this painting was the eagle with what looks like South America being pulled up a wall. It made me think that some of the Southern immigrants had moved to the U.S a longtime ago. To me it is a show of old history on how the U.S came to be today. With the Eagle a Symbol of the United States it really shows the different people and immigrants that traveled all around the world to get to the U.S.

When looking at this picture one of the big things that made me look twice was the phone with the president’s head and the half eaten world and makes me think which one is better the government or are world. I feel like the Tree Hand is the strength that holds both up like the symbol of the strength in people when we all stand together.

With all these different things going on in this peace I believe it really did stand out and did make a point to me in most like different ways then maybe how you would see this peace of art. I believe this painting is successful because I has a lot of different meanings to it and many people may look at it and come up with different reasons that make it a successful painting.
