The Chosen Art with Finalized look:

Fig 1.3

 "Kartini: Feminism for the Modern Era"

    This work of art is inspired by RA Kartini's journey in fighting for women's emancipation where at that time, women were still treated unfairly, many women were prohibited from getting an education and only worked as housewives. RA Kartini standing on a pile of books  symbolizes the power of education and knowledge as the foundation for women's empowerment. The background consisting of buildings in Jakarta represents the modern era in Indonesia and with RA Kartini embracing feminists means that today's women continue and fight for justice as RA Kartini once did. Lastly, the white, gold, and purple (the sock's colour) that i used are associated with the feminist movement and used International Women's Day (IWD). 

Design Principles in "Kartini: Feminism for the Modern Era":

It is clearly seen that the colour of the figure which has reddish and brownish colour making it contrast from the background. The gigantic size of the figure is also emphasizing the art work. Each side of this artwork has balance composition, the buildings on the background also the figure composition have almost equal arrangement. The most interesting while making this visual is the way that the various photo pieces gathered together that somehow creating unique unity. Lastly, the last design principle that i used is proximity, especially the way that i overlapped the part of the skirt by using different type of batik pattern.

Feedback:

    After finalizing the chosen figure, Sir charles advised me to instead using buildings from other country as the background, try to use Indonesian modern or history buildings, and at first, he also told me to change the color of the quotes from red to white and laso make a comparison between using it or not, and at the end i like the visual whe has no quotes on it.
