How are women depicted in popular culture today? The expression “sex sells” can readily be validated by looking in virtually any advertisement or magazine, those geared for either men or women.

  1. Look in five different types of magazines or media to find five images of how a woman is depicted. What is the purpose of the image/ad? How is the woman being depicted? What are the intentions of the figure? And how do you, the viewer, feel towards this woman and/or the intentions of the image/ad? 100-300 words
  2. Then as an extension of this project, choose one image of particular interest. Copy or scan to create a black and white image. Incorporate a contrasting or provocative statement in red, similar to Barbara Kruger’s work Untitled (Your body is a battleground).
