My Final Idea

For my final piece, I would like to make two models. One with realistic body proportions, and one shaped like a barbie doll.

Realistic Figure

Barbie Figure

In my essay I discuss the issues with different body shapes, and how the media enforce high expectations of how your body should look. So I am going to make both of these to compare the proportions and show how ridiculous Barbie's shape is, so I can encourage the fact that natural beauty is better.

I intend to make them with plasticine, using milliput, wire and two wooden bases to construct them.
