A graduate student at SCAD is working on a new project that is sure to make waves in the art world. The student, who asked to remain anonymous, is creating a series of paintings that challenge traditional notions of beauty and art.
The series consists of portraits of people who are considered “ugly” by society’s standards. The goal of the project is to show that these people are just as beautiful as anyone else.
“Most of these people have been told their whole lives that they’re ugly, and I want to show them that they’re not,” the student said. “They’re just as beautiful as anyone else.”
The project has received a lot of positive feedback, but also some criticism. Some people have accused the student of mocking those who are less aesthetically pleasing than others.
“Some people think I’m mocking them, but I just want to show that everyone is beautiful in their own way.”
The student plans on making 10 paintings by the summer and donating all of the proceeds to a local charity for people who don’t fit society’s standards of beauty.
The student has no plans to show the paintings in a gallery, but has been approached by several magazines and online news sites interested in featuring them.
“I’m really glad that so many people have responded positively,” the student said. “It shows how much we can learn from those who are considered ‘ugly.'”
