Yasmine IB Art Drawing and Painting Standard Level   “**Stages of a woman’s life”**

 Through my work I attempt to visually portray significant stages of a woman’s life, emphasizing adolescent and the younger generations insecurities especially concerning appearances that are heavily influenced by the media, and society. I try to illustrate this using original ideas, and interpretations to send a clear message across to those who view my work. The stages of a woman’s life that I have produced range from a girl’s early obsession with makeup represented mainly by the symbol of a mirror, to an independent woman that does not need a husband to be valued this is exemplified by a wedding cake without a groom.

During the 1st year of IB art, I felt that my artistic technique was weak, and I was extremely indecisive about my theme to the point that I even considered quitting the course. I overcame this, by frequently practicing painting and drawing, and by planning my pieces with more detail and seriousness. Finally, I have developed patience, perseverance, and confidence as a person and an artist that can express personal opinions about universal women’s life and issues in our world.
