Title & Question:
Name your project.
Question driving your project – has it evolved over the semester?
Aims, Objectives & Context:
What do you want to find out? What do you want to discover? What did you want to
create?
What skills, techniques, methodologies did you want to utilise?
Does your project fit within a larger plan/project? Describe where it fits. Does your
project serve to push your development as a practitioner? Describe how this is important
to your professional development.
Conclusion/Findings:
What was the outcome of your project? Consider both the final product and how
successfully you’ve resolved your question. Consider what you’ve learnt through this
project.
For the dissertation I think is is more important to focus on the resolving of my question and the creating of my work as it seems like the main focus and more important. As more areas will need to be discussed than other. As this project was heavily put through a lot of development and narrowing down while also went through a lot of self evaluation to get to the end point. I also think it is important to discusses how the work was made and why it ended out the way it did and how I don't like it and think I can do better. I also want to talk a little bit about artist models and their influence or maybe how the idea started from pinup girls and developed into expression of self-empowerment and sexuality.
Here is a photo of the painting up in the gallery, I also don't think it is important to talk about the gallery night as it isn't very important in the development of my work or as me as an artist.
I think it is important to talk about the journey of this painting and how it affected me as an artist and the importance of researching and refining. Also the development the work has gone through but also my mind set through out working on this painting, this is why the blog is very important to me and I trying to keep up with updating everything as I like to reflect on my past dissensions and see change.

"While some may feel that the suggestive nature of pinup poses clashes with feminist efforts against the objectification of women, the notion of sexual empowerment is, of course, more fraught than this." (Elster, 2016)

"First, as feminism has always been premised on fighting for equality between the sexes, the roles of sexuality in sexual inequality has inevitably been addressed by all generations of the movement. Secondly, although feminist thinkers have consistently drawn upon women sexuality as a site of oppression, so too have they posited the endurance of a women's sexual freedom and pleasure as an antidote to the same. third, as a movement driven by the need to reach, educate, and persuade the masses, popular culture has not been viewed by feminist solely as a reserve of conservative message to a rage against, but also as a powerful tool for offering progressive alternatives to these very messages. for all these reason, alongside the protectionist and anti-pornography feminist voices who have rightfully challenged men's historical dominance over and access to sexuality:" (Buszek 2006)

"As more and more female artists create pin-up art, and more female models for this art become self-empowered in co-creation of the “message” going out from this art, the more the “objectification” past can be redeemed by the “empowerment” future – and the wonder and power of the female subject – body and soul – can be free to evolve ever closer in its depiction toward ultimate revelation."
" female “point of view” or a “female gaze” in pornography that defines a different
genre called “feminist porn.” Erika Lust’s films Five Hot Stories for Her (2007), Barcelona Sex
Project (2008), Life Love Lust (2010), Cabaret Desire (2011) and XConfessions (2013-2014)
will be considered as well as her practice as a feminist pornographer in order to examine how she
reclaims female agency and embodies “feminist porn” both on and off screen."" (
Agency and Pornography: Erika Lust's Female Gaze
"Within the feminist discourse regarding sexuality it seems that the gaze has acted as a power apparatus in which men are on the dominant side and women at the bottom. Both sides of the feminist debate have taken the concept of the gaze in direct relation to power. This might be why whether they personally defend or detract sexual representations of women, when the gaze is addressed, it is in terms of a discourse about violence, domination, oppression, or instead,
challenging these same concepts. When it comes to women’s sexuality, definition
s of and discussions about power are central"
“Cixous discusses the female body and women’s sexuality in connection with writing for several reasons: Women are driven away both from their own bodies and from their own sexualities, sexuality informs and works in tandem with writing, and women’s sexuality and women’s writing are distinctly female. That which is beautiful in women’s lived experiences and in writing cannot be fully expressed or claimed until the taboo is lifted on women’s corporeal desires and sexualities—a taboo that makes women feel ashamed of their bodies, and their work. More important, Cixous declares, by reclaiming their bodies, women will take back what is rightfully theirs.” (eNotes.com, Inc. 2010)

" between the two gazes thus blurs the boundaries between the two roles until it becomes unclear who exactly is gazing at whom; the gaze becomes a mode of interaction between spectator and the work of art."(Reinhardt, 2013)
