As some of you who've been following me will know, I'm starting my art exam at the moment. The topic I'm doing is on cultural diversity but I'm centering more about steryotypes. One of the things I'm doing to collect initial sources is to take photos of many of my friends and people around school, holding a steryotype which applies to them.
Basically, I was wondering if some of you would be able to take some photos of yourselves/your friends doing the same thing that you would be happy for me to use in my project...this would obviously mean that other people would be able to see them and I can't guarentee that they won't be on the internet at some point...
But it would be so awesome if some of you could help me!
I realise that we're all from different areas of the world so I think that this could be even more interesting!
If you feel like helping me out, please could you either post them on this thread or email them to be at [removed]? Thank you!
Oh and an example of what I mean:
And some example 'steryotypes':
I SPEAK MY MIND, so I MUST be a bitch.
I'm OVERWEIGHT, so I MUST have a problem with self control.
I'm RELIGIOUS, so I MUST shove my beliefs down your throat.
I'm RICH, so I MUST be a conceited snob.
I WEAR BLACK, so I MUST be a goth.
I'm BLONDE, so I MUST be a stupid ditz.
PS, you don't have to show your face but you can if you want and you can do it in any sort of situation you like...you don't necessarily need to be stood there holding it, I'm sure you'll all have creative ideas :p
I took this picture back on October 20th for World Wear Purple Day- to take a stand against homophobia. This isn't a personal reflection of myself, but something I did to stand up for those who are being bullied for being gay. I think it still fits with your plan- if so feel free to use it.
I just want to say that I really like this project idea!! These shots actually gave me chills....just because of how powerful they can be! :) I'm hoping to get you one soon! :D
