SUSTAINED INVESTIGATION

23-24

WRITTEN EVIDENCE

Identify the inquiry that guided your sustained investigation.

At the beginning of my sustained investigation, I started out by expressing the negative aspects of beauty standards through the use of photography. As I continued to make art I realized that I was following a standard in thinking of the beauty standards in a negative way. Once I realized that, I officially decided to look at the beauty products simply as informational. Iwent this route by using shapes, space, emphasis and movement.
