CONFESSION ASSIGNMENT PROPOSAL

Proposal #1:
My first idea I thought of was to confess something I have been struggling with since I was like 13 year old and that was my scoliosis. My spine got very crooked really fast because I went through a big growth spirt, and I even got a brace designed to help prevent more of a curve. I wore it for the weekend and was completely miserable, so my parents made me a deal as long as I keep doing sports and keeping my back limber I do not need to wear the brace, so I accepted the deal. I was thinking I could buy some plaster and sculpt a crooked spine. Desiree told me to go a little further and do not be so blunt but go deeper with the meaning.

Proposal #2:
The second idea I wanted to maybe try out was confess some personal things about my ex-relationship, and how I helped my ex-boyfriend to become sober. He was homeless at the time and I gave him a place to stay and stayed up nights with him from his withdrawals and got in contact with his mom who he had not spoken to for two years. His mom and I found him a sober living home and then when he moved out of the sober living house, I had a job at Victoria Secrets and I knew someone that worked at the Gap right next to my work and my ex got a job and he decided to enroll himself at SBCC. This was a very stressful and emotionally tearing part of my life, I'm not really sure how I could express this through art. I was thinking of painting a picture of something that expresses all the emotions that I felt during that time period.

Proposal #3:
I studied abroad in Europe last summer for marketing. I was mainly based in Vienna, Austria and then I went to Prague, Munich, Salzberg, Amsterdam, and Rome. It was an amazing experience and what made it even better is that three of my best friends came on the trip. I learned a lot about myself and how to get around in a foreign country and adapt to different lifestyles. I was thinking of creating a collage of some sort or even something to do with maps because before that trip I was horrible with directions and now I feel very comfortable navigating to places.
