2: Prostitution

Order Description

Painting a woman with words scarred and embedded in her bare back. The words will be out of a judgmental perspective.What society sees, and names women that work in certain “unorthodox”fields like stripping ,erotic dancing and sex work.The idea of the words scarred into the skin with some blood is to symbolize how the words are hurtful ,and are carried as wounds longer than we may imagine;and they may not even heal. The body will not have an certain color or tone, it will be a body with dark ,light, and mixed tones. Uniting all women from different backgrounds and the pain they go through.For this is the point of the class to look at women as a whole without excluding anyone.
As for the topic, I am going for sex as work. Even though the topic may not be something that’s close to my heart, but after Laura Augustin’s reading about sex as work and her views on how not every working girl is a victim, neither does it mean that its dirty work. selling sex is a job like any other job and some girls enjoy it. For sure there is a large percentage of these girls that are victims, yet the point is to look at all of the sides to this topic. It blew my mind, and made me think from a whole new level, I have never thought of sex work from that perspective and thats what got me interested in this bold and daring topic. I believe in thinking from different point of views and putting myself in people’s shoes before setting my mind, therefore I think I can elaborate on this subject.
The three Authors basing My work from are, Laura Augustin (Sex at the Margins), Sojourner Truth, (Ain’t I A Women) and Kimberlé Crenshaw (Black Feminism And Intersectionality). I will be speaking about how society views women and has certain expectations regarding purity. I will also speak about double standards, then I will hit points from Laura Augustin’s readings. Covering points about sex workers, intersectionality will enter tying the reading “Aint I A Women” in. This is the plan for now.
Following the description.
Accompany work (painting) with a 3-4page critical commentary outlining the connection between their intervention and course materials. In addition, final projects will need to address the work of at least 3 of our authors. This incorporation should be done in a manner oriented towards an unfamiliar reader/viewer, such that you will need to make some kind of space, either in your writing or, if you go the artistic route, in your critical commentary, to both explain the work of these authors and how their ideas tie into your own work.

Rubric :

Written portion (please note that critical commentaries need to meet the criteria for a regular paper – they should have a clearly stated purpose, clearly delineated introductions and conclusions, strong overall organization, good paragraph-level organization, etc.):

Clearly draws from and explains to an unfamiliar reader three sources from outside of our course—this includes quoting clearly and well
