ART EXAM HELP- TOPIC: CHANGE?

For our next art exam we've been told to do CHANGE, i want to do really well because i want to take gcse art next year



I have a couple of ideas but i need more...

So far i have 'CHANGE IN WOMEN' based on Sally Khoury's work. She is from Lebanon and does work Art on Females to give a sense of how ladies have changed from being the mother and housemaker and almost like second citizens.



I also thought about things that we need to change in the world: street crime

homelesness etc
ART EXAM HELP- TOPIC: CHANGE?
Hi!



Interesting question. And a great topic for creating art!



I'm a professional visual artist and I always try to stick to the topics I have either knowledge or deep passion about.



If you are a school aged female, then your kind of change is mostly likely different from the older Sally Khoury's. You probably have just as much change happening in your life, but it's happening in different spheres: physically (growing up, trying to NOT become a mother), mentally (learning new ideas), socially (becoming an adult, and trying to NOT become %26quot;just%26quot; a housewife), and emotionally (stress over all those boyfriends! or lack thereof! or any other issue coming your way...)



So my advice is stick to the change you know. Or changes you are passionate about (social, environmental, political issues that keep you awake at night). You might check out the artists at www.art21.org. They address big topics like this too, in all different art mediums.



I hope this helps!
