Propaganda: IBVA Project 6
50x70 Acrylic and Ink on Canvas

For this project we were given two options:
1. Create a brand new piece of propaganda, based on Russian, Chinese or American propaganda techniques.
2. Recreate a piece of propaganda, applying your own techniques.

I chose to recreate the American-made poster "We Can Do It", symbolising myself as Rosie the Riveter, the original character in the piece. I wanted to highlight self-empowerment and change the simple text to "I Can Do It". Final piece is being added soon.

The use of primary colours to stay within the bands of the original piece is intended.
