DES 431 blog post #3

 The first project is ivote, where we will be making a brooch or pin that is trying to convey or persuade people in some way. Here's a link to the pinterest board I've set up that contains the images I've used as references: https://pin.it/DmsNvto

I have a few different areas of interest:

 

  1. The french revolution
  2. jeweler's/craft workers unions
  3. women's impact on revolutions/political movements
  4. voting rights in the USA (electoral college vs national popular vote)

 

Here's some of the images I've been getting ideas from:

 French Resistance, WWII: "Live Free or Die!" (Concours National de la Résistance et de la Déportation)
