Summative Statement

With the written element of this module focusing on feminist film theory and how the heroine roles with film are represented, I didn't want to create a body of work just illustrating what I had written within my dissertation. Instead I drew importance upon Althusser's concept of "Ideological State Apparatuses' reinforcing oppression and created a possible solution to the oppression of women.

Schools are one of the 'Ideological State Apparatuses' mentioned in his concept, so the idea behind my project was to create an educational game for children between the ages of 11-16. At this age children can be impressionable, and it is well known that the younger generation are more likely to go against social norm and stand up for what they think is right, for instance Sub Cultures.

The game I chose to re-design was Monopoly, as the origin of the game is important as it adds context to my project. The origin of the game being a prime example of injustice of the woman who originally invented the game.

I have really enjoyed this module, I was able to explore many different creative processes, 3D printing, Woodwork, Illustrator, Book Binding and Photography. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of creating a concept, development and production and overall I think this shows within my work, resulting in a fully functional, professional piece of work.

This module has really informed my practice a lot, the writing element and the practical has elevated my practice and I would like to take this work on further in the future, focussing on what my passion is, Education.
