Project
In this project I wanted to dive into the perspective of Marilyn Monroe , a widely known hollywood model, actress and singer. Little do people know that there was so much more to the rising star then just celebrity status. After Marilyn’s death ,awareness to mental health became something that people looked into. The influence that Marilyn had on women’s rights and shedding light to the issues of gender in equality. Finally the abuse that Marilyn endured over her years as a child as well as her years in hollywood. Marilyn Monroe was known as a beauty standard still one of the biggest female hollywood names today. What many don’t know is that Marilyn Monroe was so much more than just another actress on the big screen. While touching on this topic , the negative effects of the hollywood industry and social media also plays a role in the story of Marilyn Monroe and what exactly was the story behind such an iconic name .
English
For english I will be created a magazine completely on Marilyn Monroe but now any common regular magazine. This will be a life story but a different light onto Marilyn's life on who she actually was beyond just a celebrity. Instead of the flashy modeling magazine that Marilyn would pose for back then. This magazine will show her side as Norma Jean instead of Marilyn. It will touch on sensitive parts of her life and all the negativity she endured in Hollywood . As well all the the things she influenced including women’s rights and bringing awareness to the gender inequality that she was experiencing in her work environment. A personal letter I wrote from her perspective adds on to the perspective aspect , putting together the whole project.
Art
For Art I wanted to look into Marilyn and how society perceived her. With descriptive words I will be using a photo Ai generated system to be creating different images of Marilyn Monroe that will be completely based of descriptive words . I then compiled these images on a virtual gallery completely made from scratch and describe why I decided to use certain descriptive words for each image. I also explained as part of the project the relevance of each image . I wanted to focus on the face much rather than the colors of these images. The facial expressions of these Ai images is what really emphasized the message I was willing to get across rather than focusing on the color pop that Marilyn is always seen in.
