My diorama was of the obsession with weight loss and image in this country. I retrieved all my pictures from the same magazine to show exactly how naratic this country is about weight loss. In the same magazine I found three of the same plastic surgery adds stating that anyone can afford it because the finance. I also found over twenty diet pill adds and most of their articles were about how to change your looks, size, and attitude toward your man. And considering this is a casual reading POPULAR magazine among women, I thought it was borderline brainwash.

Papparazzi's Obsession

My diorama is on the paparazzi and society's obsession with celebrity life. We always have to know who broke up with who, who's on drugs, who's still together, how thin you can get before you like too skinny, is a size six too fat? We act like we know these people, but do we? Or do we just know the idea of these people. Why do we need to know everything about these people?

Diaroma: Beauty vs "Perfect Image"

My issue was mainly about image and how it is potrayed in real life versus the entertainment world. Many people get caught up in this fictional setting that image is about how you look. If a person doesn't weigh the "perfect weight," then his or her image is not seen as something significant. In today's society, beauty, weight, and power defines your image. For example, Beyonce is one of the most talked about celebrity images. Knowing that she has power and a "perfect image," a 14 year old girl wants to look like her because it is potrayed as a "perfect image." Image shouldn't be potrayed in that way.

Diorama- "It Does Exist" by Ricky Warren

I chose to create my diorama using the theme of racial profiling. So many times I've seen a nice car with large rims, a custom paint job and a sound system surrounded by numerous police cars and officers searching the car. Then, I'll usually several police officers surrounding one man while the car is being searched. Though I have no idea what the man has done, it enrages me that it takes five to ten officers to subdue one man. Is there nothing else for the other four or five officers to do? With the crime rate increasing everyday, surely there are other people that need "protection." I have been racially profiled twice in my life and been involved in scenes such as this one. My mother has worked for two police departments, one in Georgia and one in Virginia, and has overheard officers in both departments saying that they profile drivers because "it's an easy catch." I guess it's the Amerikkkan way...

One all for Himself

I have portrayed my view of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe. The people of New Orleans are helpless and our president seems to have gone AWOL.

Nature...

My issue for my diorama deals with nature and the importance of an clean environment. With all the issues of global warming, polluntants and greenhouse effect, the environments needs to be protected and strengthed.Even though people may forget the importance of the environment we should realize that we can all do something to perseve nature and the environment.

A Nation’s Unimportance

This diorama represents the strife that is taking place with our nation and our brethren in the Middle East. The outside is obviously the American flag and this represents the pseudo-patriotic façade many individuals in this nation use to justify the war. However once the diorama is opened you see an alternate scenario. Bin Laden and Bush in the mist of mushroom clouds indicating nuclear warfare. The mushroom cloud is in Bin Laden’s hand indicating that he is the catalyst of the situation that was September 11, 2001. We can also see Bush sitting in a casual stance as another mushroom cloud ascends behind him indicating either his lack of knowledge or lack of concern over the situation. Perhaps he knows that if a war breaks out and he tears down the Middle East, he can make a fortune off of rebuilding it and extracting oil (Maybe that’s why he doesn’t look all that concerned.)

WORLD WAR I

WORLD WAR I

I chose the topic of World War I because I feel its a never ending battle. Everyone is affected by the war, not only the soldiers but also their family and friends.
My diorama is a display of different scenes during World War I. It consist of fighting soldiers, bushes, Army tanks, and pictures of the war.
