For my study on child art, I wanted to focus on how media culture informs and
influences adolescent society- mainly adolescent girls. As a mentor to pre-teen/ teen
girls in my community, I am often shocked and concerned at some of the things I
hear them say and see them do. These are 11-16 year old girls who are pretty
much constantly glued to their iPhones, iPods, Twitter, instagram, Facebook, and
other social network and sharing applications. For my original artwork, I
decided to use some of the same materials, programs, and applications that these
girls use. I wanted to portray a little bit of what adolescent girls deal with
all day, everyday. This digital collage depicts song lyrics, pop stars,
advertisements, and images from various social networks. Media culture has
completely changed what adolescents are exposed to. These are just some of the
(less offensive) images that are currently influencing adolescent girls, and
informing them ‘what it means to be a woman’. Welcome to girl world.
