1.) My armor will be protecting my hands from the germs around us. I will be using different pieces to decorate the armor, to symbolize cleanliness, and protect myself from germs. Whatever decorations I choose to use, I will convey the message of cleanliness and purity.

2.) I don't believe I will use a cliche or stereotype in my armor. I am going to figuratively decide which decorations will protect against germs the most. If I were to use a cliche, however, I believe it would weaken my piece.

3.) The armor will protect me from the germs that are everywhere around us. It will protect me physically, but also emotionally as well. I get distraught when I see something dirty, and wonder what I have touched that is similar to the scenario.

4.) I will wear the 'gloves' over my hands, and they will lace up on the side where they will be cut.

5.) I will use various pieces of decorations to add to my 'gloves'. I am not sure if I will paint it, because the white that it dries as seems so clean to me. I will definitely be adding embellishment in order to protect my hands even more.

1. For my final project I'm doing a knee brace since I have a bad knee from a car accident. I want to protect my knee from getting injured again, I'll be using push pins to keep things from damaging the brace and keep it away.
2. I haven't used sterotypes or cliche in my piece yet but when I do it will have something to represent my weakness.
3. The brace will protect my knee from getting injured it will also help my knee from moving in a way it shouldnt.
4. I'll be wearing it almost like a mask, it won't go all the way around but will have some sort of ribbon so I can tie it in the back.
5. I will use color that makes it stand out so people will know that it's my bad knee, having push-pins to keep things from going near it.

.) What kind of symbols, metaphors or cultural meanings have you incorporated into the design of your armor? Please explain how they are consistent with the message you want to convey?

2.) Have you used a stereotype or cliche? If so, does it strengthen or weaken your message?

3.) How will the armor protect you? Physically? Emotionally?

4.) How will you wear it? (i.e. straps)

5.) How will you embellish this armor? Paint? Build off of it, etc.?

1. i made the armor out of bones when in turn it should be protecting my bones.it is protecting my hand because my hand is the money maker I draw and i fight so my right hand needs all the protection it can get and the hardest thing next to metal is bone.

2.no stereotypes i have a deeper meaning for my armor more than just a physical protector.

3the armor literally protects my hand from physical damage also it protects my pencil by keeping it in place so i can never lose it.

4i put a glove on first then molded it and cut some of the glove away

5 i built the bones coming off of the peice and im possibly going to to paint it either two colors or one. Im all about simplisity that is still difficult. so a well crafted peice with a simple paint job is exactly what im talking about
