Intertextuality project: #WeCanDoIt
For the Intertextuality project I had several ideas: An angry bird
flying through the air with a fork and knife towards the pigs, Spongebob
being used to do the dishes, an MnM with diabetes, and finally Rosie
the Riveter taking a selfie. I chose the last one beacause I had never
seen it before and it was different. I also liked the concept more that
all of the others.
I decided to use acrylic paint as my medium because I am most
comfortable with it. I paint in my free time outside of school and I
knew that I should use it if I wanted to incorporate as much detail as I
wanted to. For this project I made my sketch, traced it using the
projector, and painted it.
My artwork demonstrates Intertextuality because I took the famous WWII propaganda poster and I changed what she was doing to completely change the meaning. By painting her taking a selfie, I portrayed a modern take on girls nowadays. I think the risk I took with this project is that I've never really painted a person in real detail so I wasn't completely confident in my abilities. I think I included Concept, new, and technique into my peice.
