1. Write short paragraph highlighting the specific issues and context for your work. Include the following: • What was your work about? • What relation does media/process/method play in respect to your ideas? • What information (visual or written) have you found which has informed the development of your work – (artists, theory, other)? At [...]

I just re-read the ADP brief, and noticed that blogging was introduced through saying “In online diaries, people write their day-to-day experiences, social commentary, complaints, poem, prose, illicit thoughts and any content that might be found in a traditional paper diary or journal“. This struck me as fantastic irony, as anything can be written in [...]

I thought it’d be useful to try to honestly answer all of the questions on the ADP sheet. “Have you represented your thought and making process in your blog? i.e. how have your work and ideas developed? How references link to ideas? How your ideas change over time?” I’d say I’ve represented my thoughts in [...]

At first, I was disheartened and intimidated by posting on a communal blog as this wasn’t what I expected, and adapting to this shift took a few days, so I created a blog to practice getting my ideas into blog format, and decided to create posts like this, then copy them to the ADP blog. [...]

It seems that I agree with the UK government on so very few things, but I want to thank WSA for giving me the opportunity to find new things to disagree with. In censoring me, of course I’m going to look more into the subjects that I assume I was censored because of. This caused [...]

This image is very similar to one of the photos in a post that got deleted from my blog. No one’s told me whether it was the photo that got it deleted, so I’ll have to feel out the boundaries for myself and see if this one disappears as well. At least in getting censored, [...]

One thing that has really interested me throughout this project is the issue of context. At the beginning, I thought that a lot of this context of acceptability or inacceptability would be defined by whether the images were considered high art or not, but I’m not sure whether this is the case seeing as a [...]

This is an alternative idea for my project that I’m sure people will find less controversial. I am going to talk about how flowers and fluffy animals can live both inside, or outside. I am going to back this up with an art history context, but also apply it to modern society. I may also [...]

Alan Bennett’s Playing Sandwiches This monologue by Alan Bennett is an interesting point for inside/outside acceptability because it’s a very controversial piece because it humanises a character who is a paedophile. In that way, I see it as similar to “Peeping Tom”, which was criticised for being perverse seeing as it gave its main character [...]

image by Lauren Greenfield I think that a combination of media and socialisation causes girls to grow up to see appearance as an important thing, to believe that they are always being looked at and judged according to how they look, and that they can only be validated by other people thinking they are pretty.
