Sustained Investigation 2

"Barbie" 9x12 inches

This drawing is about how young girls first ideal they are introduced to about beauty is their barbie dolls. The dolls are an extremely unrealistic ideal to have for your body. They have incredibly small frames, outfits, hair, heights, etc.

For this drawing I used colored pencils and marker. I wrote "get a barbie body..." on the top to show the pressure one may have to achieve this body. I used colored pencil to be able to shade colors. I drew measurement lines to show some different unrealistic dimensions that the barbie has. I wanted to add lots of color to this because barbies are colorful.

If I were to do this again I would draw the barbie in a box or draw a young girl holding the doll. This drawing shows I learned how to convey a message through my artwork, it also shows I learned technical drawing skills and techniques.
