Gender Line of Inquiry:
Drawing and Painting class - In relation to my gender line of equity I wanted to explore the concept of 'Androgyny'. This term is used to describe individuals who possess both masculine and feminine qualities. To others it can be a challenge to fathom their gender. to start exploring this line of inquiry in my work, I decided to do a series of drawings of facial features of individuals who are perceived by society as 'androgynous'. The reason why I chose to draw their facial features and nothing else, is because it is hard to guess the gender of an individual just by their eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips. My aim here was to present individuals as 'Gender neutral' blurring the barrier to what is male and what is female.
