- This is my project that represents how social media such as Twitter effects the identity of teens. Teenagers spend a large amount of time using social media and it has become a part of their daily lives and often changes how they view society as a whole. I used a pencil and my sketchbook to create this piece, I was inspired because I rarely use social media, and as an outsider I can see how it effects others.
- I use many forms of symbolism in my work, but one of the most important ways I used it was by making some aspects larger, and others smaller. In my work I have made the Twitter bird larger, carrying the medium sized teenagers away from their family and friends which seem tiny and insignificant compared to the bird. This is meant to show how social media can corrupt the minds of individuals and make them forget what really matters in life.
- I find my artwork to be very successful at conveying the theme and the message that I wanted to impart. Although it is rather simplistic and lacks detail I believe this is the best way for the piece to show its meaning. In fact, in order to get the message across to some of those who have been affected by the negative aspects of social media, this simple work of art might be the best way to get them to take notice.
