Student Name: Alyssa Laurendi School: Oswego East Grade: 10 Class: Pottery 1 UN Sustainable Development Goal: Gender Equality Brief Artist Statement: The main idea behind my artwork is growth in all women’s rights and equality. This Idea is important to me because I want to give women voices, and give them the idea that they can grow to be anything they want. I want people to think about the growth society has made towards women’s rights, and how we can keep growing from that. Since the pandemic violence cases against women has risen 30%The flower represents how all women are beautiful, blue is normally seen as the color for men so it is the representation for equality. The venus symbol is a dark green, and that represents strength.
