The Beginning

THE BEGINNING 13/01

I started to mind map initial ideas of things I had enjoyed in previous projects, subjects I would like to explore and areas of the industry I would like to go into. These were extremely useful to put the initial thoughts in my head into an organised manner and see the themes that emerged within them. Also, I had a workshop with Jane Hankin. This helped me to think in different ways and engage with different areas that interested me or could help me to develop my work in a new way through writing. I may use the ‘constraint’ techniques in my own work when I feel as though I’m working in the same method too much, as I was able to create some strong pieces in this workshop with the limits I was given. It almost creates a brief to follow throughout the work I produce. Furthermore, I explored some more artists that followed to the subject of ‘Young people living in London’ that I wanted to explore and this helped to further develop my theme and find an outcome that would be successful to work with. I looked at a lot more secondary research and made some initial sketches, to get a better understanding of the direction I wanted to take this in.
