STUDIO BRIEF 2: Visual Response

The Themes I am going to explore are….

1. Body Image 2. Gender Stereotypes 3. Sexualisation

The theories that will in form my work are…..

1. Negative body image is encouraged by societies unrealistic expectations of how we should look 2. Gender Stereotypes are an inaccurate generalisation of both males and females 3. Sexualisation exploits the female body more so than the males.

The specific subjects that I want to investigate are………

1. Body image and body confidence – the ‘perfect’ body and how this affects our confidence 2. Breaking the existing gender stereotypes 3. The female figure and it’s over-sexualisation

In order to visual investigate this content I will……..

1. Conduct a questionnaire and respond to it 2. Draw from life and from reference to explore gender stereotypes 3. Investigate the female figure, looking at clothing, nudity, and why the female form is overly sexualised compared to a males.
