In this assignment, I chose a social issue that I am passionate about and created a piece that would create awareness and call viewers to action. I chose the issue of teens aging out of foster care and strove to bring a message that would encourage viewers to become foster/adoptive parents. I played off of themes of folk art and collage because this style evokes feelings of family. The style is homey and reminiscient, but still feels serious and solemn. The piece is a door hanger, so viewers are coming home to a message of opening their home to foster care.
