1.
What research needs to be undertaken into the general and specific contexts of your practice?
There will need to be site visits to places such as political meetings, protests (if possible). I will need to interview people who are knowledgeable in area of politics. I will need to keep up to date with current newspaper articles and books concerning politics. I will need to find journals with relevant information about the subject, as well as books, newspapers and other sources of information. There needs to be visual research taken consistently via a sketchbook. This can be done on site visits etc additionally.
2.
What approach(es) will you take and what processes, methods, materials and tools are to be involved in research into your practice?
Digital can be a good middle point. However work must make full use of analogue. Would the work be distributed digitally to reach a wider audience? Could I get it printed in a newspaper? Pencil (and crayon possibly) for site visits. Largely for ease of use. Watercolour, Acrylic and Ink for developmental work. See which works best for the piece. Digital for touch ups (and distribution?). Physical copy for hand in.
