Choosing subjects and questions to embrace this year

We should start to consider what we would like to explore in details this year. There are a range of main themes to pick up from .

THEMES


  • History
  • Society
  • Technology
  • Cultural
  • Aesthetic
  • Politics

Now I should think carefully what I REALLY want to explore this year, because I wouldn't like to pick a wrong and not appealing theme which it will drag me down during the rest of the year, so for me this stage is critical and I should consider and make a list of things that I enjoy to learn from. Last year , even if at the beginning I wasn't sure of my theme and at some points I struggled , I have to say I really enjoyed being part and embrace the satirical illustrations in depth . Studying the theory was super interesting but even more, the visual responses I produced due to the context I learnt from research and writing the essay.

In one side, I would love to carry on through this path and getting more technical and expand the theories that I learn looking at satire , although in the other hand , I would like to explore something else to keep the balance of my studies and feel the hunger for different knowledge .

These are some ideas , although  still in a very primitive stage of theme selection .


  • Social : Satirical illustration 
  • History :  Print history and the screenprint boom  
  • Culture : Fan art  and merchandising culture 

I'm very excited to pick up screen print history and get submerged into it . I have been always whining about I never do screen print, either outside college or in my briefs. This is the perfect opportunity to learn more about this subject and at the same time , produce a great amount of work based on this culture through screen-print processes.

These are just some examples of how good is the visual impact of this process can get :

 





Looking at these images, I could focus my research based on " Texture"  and/or "Colour"  as part of COP visual development due to that we need to stick to one of these aspects of drawings 
( Texture,line, tone, colour, collage )
