Chosen word: Naked  

Why is the naked human body a long-lasting staple in art? Of course, the picture of the human body fascinates our imagination, which can articulate all facets of human nature, but it will typically do just as well in clothing. Art students study naked models in order to see the form and expression of the body uninterrupted, freely and with the ability to show full exhibition in its movement.  

In my reflection of the word, ‘Naked’ can be meditated in a vulnerable aspect, being a word that is inclusive to body positivity, Ance positivity, skin colour positivity; a word that is used when being free and expressive about being yourself. I chose to continue with this word because I feel as if the word can be exhibited as a verb for being yourself; being proud of your body, your skin, your curves; being naked from negativity. I want to continue with this word into my subject, hoping that I can portray an inspirational and encouraging subject, creating a positive and expressive frame of mind.
