my second topic for ib art is "culture". i decided to explore one of my closest friends culture in depth and chose to do facial paint on her because i thought it was an interesting media. my friend, ting is taiwanese and the colors of her flag is red, blue and white. however, ting is in love with the color pink so i decided to include it in the painting because it is part of her OWN culture. i let her choose the pattern because it is to represent HER self. i used acrylic paint on her face and photographed her in the outfit she chose herself to wear. the tiara is to show that to herself, she is her own princess. she said so herself. :P. the phone is an important object to her, she can't live without it so i included it. i took pictures of her on her balcony. since she is so naturally stunning, it only took a couple of photos until i was satisfied. with the help of li, i edited the photos making it all black and white, except the parts that i wanted to keep in color (face, lips, pink high light, shoes, phone). i want to explore this style more, so i have decided to do the same to a couple of other friends of mine as well.

my all time favorite designer. at only the age of 25 ghesquière became the head of fashion house balenciaga. the house was losing its high fashion status and needed a change, ghesquière made the change happen. he is known for his sense of silhouette, pairing high skinny pants with flowy dress tops wayyy back before it became a trend. he brought back the trend of platforms, which at one point were thought to be completely slutty. however, he turned that stereotype around by making them unique, beautiful and completely classy. now, platforms are back in trend and all designers can just say that ghesquière himself is responsible for this. fans of his creations include the likes of mary kate olsen, kate moss, sienna miller, chloe sevigny, and even the ice queen herself, anna wintour. i myself want to make a difference in fashion and be orignal with every outfit i create, just like him.
