superhero idea.

here i wanted to capitalise on the idea that these woman are all our true 'superheros' in the real world. 

below i have played around with creating superheros with there characters. 

 ^ eg Amelia Earhart- bird 'wing woman' or 'the woman with wings'

Marie Curie- 'Radium woman'- could create a superhero that glowed green.

i have used commonly recognisable superwoman outfits to emphasise there superhero persona. 

pro's and con's to this idea:-

cons:

-May be difficult to think of ideas for some women-eg Rosa Parks, what would her superpower or super hero name?

-Controversial- giving them stereotypical sexualized superhero figures?

PRO’S

-Humorous

-Creates strong narrative and links to what they are know for.

because i feel illustrating the woman in sexualised superhero outfits would be to controversial and would contradict my concept, below i have refined the idea to just focus on the heads of the women, like what i have done in past development pieces, as the faces can not be objectified. i have used head wear which would be recognisable to those that superheros wear. 

i like the contrast between block pieces of collage and detailed facial feathers.
