This work aims to challenge the preconception
that toys cannot be considered art. Exploring the influences that cartoons,
children's literature and toys have on the minds of young children and
questioning whether there is something more sinister to what our children are
being exposed to, under the disguise of a loveable character. Considering, how
this affects the way in which children are shaped to be a part of society and
become the next generation.
It explores how time has transformed popular
culture and compares the way that consumer ism has been aimed at children
throughout history.
It pretends to be looking at consumerism from
a child's point of view, and tries to find a link between art and toys and the
ways in which they can have an impact on society.
