This week was a challenging week for me because we had to choose the social topic that we wanted to focus on. I had a difficult time trying to chose one of these three topics, Mental health,Beauty standards, or the lgbtq + community. In The end I have decided to focus on beauty standards, but I wanted to focus on how it usually starts when we are young. Going to The Museum Of Contemporary Art this week and making our first zine draft made me think about how I really want to address this topic visually.While watching terra there was a recurring quote that made me think about the world and how humans live. The quote was “I then close my eyes”. The narrator of the movie would say this when she talked about how humans decide to ignore all of the bad things that we do to our own world. I found it interesting when she said something along the lines of “And when all of the species in the world tart to go extinct because of me, i'll turn away and close my eyes, it will be man kind to go extinct last, then I will close my eyes for good.”I kind of connected these lines “I close my eyes” to the zines that we will be creating. This project is meant for us to open our own eyes and spread the word of some of the things that are going on I our country to try and spread the word to our community and have them open their own eyes and realize that they themselves can make the problems slowly disappear.
