MOVIES: Wonder Woman was a great movie! I felt so empowered after watching the film. The Amazon Warriors of Themyscira were so strong and not overly sexy. The computer animated battle scenes were ok, the villain was a little predictable for me, but in the end Woman prevailed! I wish there was a more little kid friendly version so the whole family could enjoy, but oh well I guess. Nonetheless my mini me is hooked on to superheroes although she did not watch the movie, so we decided to become our own "Super Woman" (Her words, lol!)

I decided to paint my own Wonder Woman inspired superhero however I tapped into some #blackgirlmagic and created Nubia. Nubia is Wonder Woman's twin sister and she possesses supernatural abilities as well. While the movie was not as ethnically diverse in characters throughout the whole film I thought it important to add my own flavor. I recorded the whole painting process from start to finish for all to enjoy. Clips can be found on the BGU instagram page. I noticed that my mini me and other brown girls really connected to the look of the painting. The big hair, brown skin, beauty and muscle of the Nubia wonder woman captured interest. I think the girls saw themselves in Nubia, that's the difference. |
| Check the angry superhero face, lol! |
My painting is entitled "Nubia, Scales of Justice". She doesn't hold any weapon just a scale to determine evil from good. A completed view of this painting is in the BGU Art Shop
We also made Wonder Woman inspired wrist bands and tiara. You can get all of these items at the dollar store and it took about 15 minutes total to make. The mini me has decided that she needs the complete superhero outfit, but we decided to just start with this first. Check out the video to see each step and enjoy!
The supplies used are:
- clear school glue
- poster board sheet
- paper towel roll
- scissors
- string

- paint brush
