For this project I had plenty of ideas that I could communicate, but not even the slightest clue regarding how to communicate them. So I asked a few people around me for ideas as well. One particular subject stood out to me (which so happened to be Mrs. Purtee’s): the harmful chemicals found in makeup. I was exposed to a certain website which provided specific information on the chemicals found in certain beauty projects. It was very eye opening to see that some so called “natural beauty” products weren’t really all the natural. So what I did for the art component of my project was taken partially from the website. I printed out a few pages of the harmful synthetic components used in beauty products, particularly the ones that were rated high on the toxic scale (10 being the worst). The names of the chemicals and the effects that they had on the body were the background, and in the center of the piece I drew an eye to represent the false sense of beauty that woman feel when they pile on layers and layers of makeup.
