Description

Real Title: "Everbody's Fool"/"Material Girl"

DO NOT STEAL/TRACE/RECOLOR IMAGE!!! If you do, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!!! If you want to use it, note me and be sure to give me credit if I say yes. THERE IS A WATERMARK!!!

Sorry about the quality of this, I kinda had to take a picture of it because the piece was too big to fit on my scanner and be scanned.

This is my fourth project for 2D Art II. The criteria was how to use mixed media [or collages] to show a current social issue. I decided to use mixed media to show the big issue with the modern portrayal of females these days.

I split the girls up to show 2 sways the media and society portray girls, and was inspired and use song lyrics to help get the point across.

"Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence was the theme for the woman on the left side. She's suppose to be a model and represents all things that make girls shallow, vain, and sexually exploited. Hell, you can even see my distaste of Twilight on there because it is, of course, a shallow story teaching girls to be manipulative bitches that should only date men because they are hot, not because they are caring.

"Material Girl" by Madonna was the theme for the girl on the right side. She basically represents the "Daddy's Lil' Girl" type of girl who are spoiled, whiny, greedy little brats who basically spend money on stuff they do not need. This is actually my favorite side becaused I love how the girl came out. I absolutely love her dress and outfit.

My only real gripe with this piece is how imbalanced it is, since the "Everybody's Fool" side takes more space. I also hate how there is so much negative space on "Everybody's Fool" side a well. I am extremely happy with "Material Girl"'s side.

Disclaimer: I do not own "Everybody's Fool" or 'Material Girl", they belong to their respective artists and producers.

So yeah, comment, critique, fav, and have a nice day!

Why do society portray women as... that? It makes me sad.
