2nd answer: Fashion revolves around humanity,which includes the many cultures, social classes,and even technological advances.
3rd answer: An artist must know how to showcase their work to reach different audiences, and fashion is no exception.
My best answer is, self expression is an important part of art, fashion allows us to express our self in many ways.

2.) I came to this answer because it is the one that I believe most represents any kind of art. By any kind of art I include music, painting, fashion, and even dance.You can't have an interesting piece  without the artist trying to express something through their work. The reason any kind of art is well known is because the artist did an excellent task at capturing an incredible feeling and making it into something visual and three dimensional.

3.) There were many problems, starting with picking a topic. I resolved that by mixing two of my favorite things and creating a problem out of it. I also had a tough job finding a mentor for this topic. There are no people that are dedicated and have studies fashion as an art. Just the question itself is a very controversial. I got to find an art mentor Graciela Nardi easily but a fashion mentor was hard to find since any internship I applied to I got no call backs or the people I had as contacts were busy all the time. I finally got a hold of Marisol Bradford, and meet with her a couple of times. I also had a hard time on finding three answers that I could back up. I solved this by focusing on some aspects of art and finding the ones that had the most information.

4.) The first source would be my mentors since they are both very experienced in their jobs and had a lot of background to help me out when I was stuck. They gave me new ideas that allowed me to expand my research.  My second source would be Fashion and Art a book that ,even if it was one of the last ones I read really helped me wrap up my ideas but also open my mind to new ideas in which I could have used as my answers.
