Introduction

What do these images have in common, what do you see that is different from one to the next? Can you identify any content or subject matter that the objects have in common?

How do you think the format, shapes, the use of line, colors, and text styles used in each image help to create a particular kind of female identity? Can you identify ways in which each image relates to the function of its object?

How would you classify the figures within the images? Do they appear to be representations of living human beings? Women with specific characters? Something else? Why?
