Midterm

My topic for the midterm collage is about beauty within models. i feel that natural beauty is more attractive then fake or altered beauty thru photoshop or other programs. majority of people today look to models for their style and looks in ads. yet in the years before there were computers and programs, that can alter the appearance of people look, back then there was only natural beauty and make-up.

I feel that people should look towards older models then our now a day models. I feel that we should change our standards of appearance to way lower. As humans we strive to be perfect, to have the most perfect skin the best looking skin and much more. I feel that everyone should just be comfortable in their own skin and look towards inner beauty and not to outer body appearances. Yet, they(people) should see that models do take it too far to be theses perfect beings, and battling many self conflicts, just like older models.

My midterm collage on, the model and actress, Edie Sedgwick. Sedgwick was popular during the nineteen sixties, she hung out with pop-cultures Andy Warhol. she was in many of his film and art pieces. when Warhol photographed Sedgwick there was nothing altered. Sedgwick’s photos were raw and perfect. The message I’m trying to get across is to see how models were beautiful for who they were and not by standards like the standards we have today.
