Working toward the 8 to 12 page publication and Thinking through Drawing
This year the drawings support the essay
Drawings could spark essay ideas / further questions etc
I struggled last year with CoP and the way it was split up into written work first, then drawing after. It felt really detached and as though the illustration was an after thought. This year I think that keeping a sketchbook alongside writing the essay will act as another platform of research and make more sense all together.
What am I interested in?
Why?
How does it relate to my illustration?
What don't I already know about it?
How can I observe, record and respond to it?
The session involved us creating a mind map in order to open up some options in regards to our subjects of interest and bring about questions:
Then we were asked to carry out field research and given half an hour to do so.
I didn't really gather much in that time other than some menus from take away joints. I guess it's interesting to see how fast food is marketed towards students and placed right outside the uni.
I thought it was a pretty difficult task as we were told to avoid using the internet or the library as research. I think if I'd had more time I probably could've got stuck in a bit more. Also, sounds like a lame excuse but my phone had died so I couldn't take photos.
I need to develop my research through taking photos, noting down quotes, watching documentaries, doing first hand sketches etc.
I have a list of documentaries, some of which I've already seen, that I could watch (again) to help inform my research:
Food Inc
Fed Up
Cowspiracy
That Sugar Film
Supersize Me
Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
Vegucated
Forks and Knives
Hungry for Change
Food Fight
Bite Size
