Sheila Pree Questions What is Female Beauty


Atlanta based artist Sheila Pree is coming to Winston-Salem State University to share her art on Tuesday, November 13, 2007, 7 PM @ Diggs Gallery. "The Plastic Bodies series ... examines the authenticity of female beauty projected by media and advertisers, who create illusions of the body by way of technology. Pree's work presents an explorative portraiture of women transforming into dolls and evaluates projected images using the Barbie to create a mysterious visual of metaphors. " - from flier.


This event is billed as "Ladies Only!" My wife says my idea of going dressed as a women is not funny. In all seriousness, this is an important issue that Sheila and other artists are addressing. For a touching, tragic, documentary short on the subject check out this film made by high school student Kiri Davies.

Todd: As a music educator and activist I was hoping you might be interested in efforts by our group Save GCS Arts to restore instructional time in the arts recently cut by the Guilford County Schools. If you would like to be added to the email list, please let me know at musicandarts@mac.com. Thank you.

Women nowadays identify beauty with the physical appearance disregarding personality and inner beauty. When one says women beauty tips , they always refer to physical beauty and not even personality development
