Children are exposed to many unrealistic images of both men’s and women’s bodies through media. TV shows, music videos, ads, movies, video games, and even social networks can communicate ideas about what their bodies “should” look like. Techniques for manipulating images – from old-fashioned techniques like airbrushing to modern technologies like Photoshop – even make it possible for media images to go beyond what’s possible in reality.

​

As a parent, it can be hard to know what to do about these images. The workshops are designed to provide some insight on what they see and tell them the reality of Photoshop manipulation & more. The discussions will show them how cover magazines and publicity are created. At the end of the workshop each girl will have her very own magazine cover with all of her "Star Quality" headings.

​

The mission is to build their self-esteem by show them their self-value by pointing out their individuality and originality. They will have activities to explore who they are and assist them in finding their inner “Star”.
