Hello. I am a Psychology student at the University of Massachusetts concentrating in Art History. 

I believe that art is of great significance for development and expression for the self as well as for cultural groups and social groups. Through art we are able to understand what once was and what once was understood to be.

As a collector and experimental artist myself I enjoy recognizing philosophical and social concepts within art and applying the inferred information to everyday life. 

Shana Lapre's collections

 

Fashion

<p>#AHMCFall2019<br />This collection demonstrates the evolution of fashion in society with an integrated evaluation of femininity and social regard to women throughout  history. Although the defining characteristics of femininity are still not universally identical, the concept originated within ancient history, and was documented in ancient art and through fashion. These investigations and collection are displayed chronologically beginning in 28,000 B.C.E throughout the 21st Century A.D. This collection will expose fashion and its relation to femininity as it began and the social constructs that have impacted its inclusion in art today. </p><p>Fashion is to be regarded as an aesthetic expression through clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle and body exposure. The influence on fashion included war, politics, and social movements and is often connected to cultural movements and social markers, symbols, class and culture. Major fashion reforms came as a result of changing trades and techniques.</p>
