1. In what ways do you “construct” your identity? In what ways do you “perform” in your daily life? Being myself I also allow myself to do the things I love and enjoy.

2. Describe some ways in which your personal culture and social environments are “constructed”. You pick what you want to do and who you choose to hang out with. In that way you construct you life.

3. Describe some ways in which your physical environment/space is “constructed”. you design your room which is your space.

4. In your daily life, what would you consider to be “real” and what would you consider to be “constructed/fabricated”? real would be my connection with my family. constructed would be my clothes my hobbies and past times.

5. Describe a narrative tableaux that you might create to be captured by a photograph. A narrative tableaux can be defined as “Several human actors play out scenes from everyday life, history, myth or the fantasy of the direction artist” ( Constructed Realities: The Art of Staged Photography Edited by Michael Kohler , 34).

6. Describe an idea for a photograph that includes a miniature stage or still life. A description of such an image is “The tableaux reconstructs events as in the narrative tableaux, but in miniaturized format, using dolls and other toy objects” (Kohler, 34).

#24 Describe your plans for your self-proposed final project (if the plan is the same as before, paste it here again and give a bit more detail). During the final critique for Assignment #5, you will discuss/present these ideas to the class

I really want to expose the world to Detroits Underground artists. There is so much talent in a city that is often looked down upon I want to show the world my experience growing up in a city that has so much beauty. I love graffiti and the best art is often in the most unexpected places. These places are common to artist but in the rest of the community they would never know where this is.
