1) My artwork is about Catfishing online. Catfishing is referring to a person who is intentionally deceptive about there identity when creating a social media profile, often having the goal of making a romantic connection. I choose to make a page about Catfishing with text and pictures to inform and go into more detail telling what's it's really about. As you can tell identity is the major issue in the whole "Catfishing" situation and it could be for many different reasons including being insecure about themselves, not knowing who they wanna be with (experimenting) or just simply escaping what's going on in there life's.
2) I planned first by looking at articles about Catfishing and picking out important information . Second I found pictures online/Pinterest. Third I sketched out ideas I had about what identity means.

3) I used acrylic paint to make a background and I also used images and text to show and inform about Catfishing and why people do it. I feel like my work is pretty effective but if you wanted to see it for yourself you can watch the show on MTV it is very interesting to see if the person is who they say they are and if not there reason for pretending to be someone.
