For this project I had one of my friends act as my model and I used Alexandra Meade as my inspiration. Alexandra Meade does a unique type of artwork in which she uses painting and photography. Her goal is to make real life people look like paintings, instead of making paintings look like real life people or scenes. In my project my aim was to have my friend, Michelle, be smiling and happy looking but then the painted portion of her face would tell a different story. There is a zipper around the blue part of her face to show as if her skin has been unzipped and the way she feels inside is revealed.
