Abstract:
My project is about the time during and before the 18th amendment was passed. I created some drawing using a variety of materials like pastels and water-color. This drawing are symbolics for events that happen during the 1920s. I knew I wanted my project to be with drawings and getting an insight of the life of families while alcohol was legal during the 1920s. In my drawing I introduce the bottle and go into the consequences that lead to the amendment but that also created women's suffrage. This project is just an insight of the life in society as the Prohibition period was created.
