PUT ILLUSTRATIONS IN AS EXAMPLES

5 things I have gained from this work and how it will impact on my practice...

1. Play is important.
2. Texture goes along way.
3. Collage is a fast way to get initial ideas/themes down.
4. Pushed me to try different ways of working with lines/shapes.
5. More hands on approach with collage.

5 things I intend to explore further through my Visual Journal...

1. Depth and light
2. Foreground/midground/background - layers
3. Play with lines and patterns more.
4. Keep trying out colour schemes to get intended mood/atmosphere. 
5. Texture to add depth.

THINK ABOUT A MAIN THEME AND SOME OTHER SMALLER ONES...

Themes to think over: 

POWER

• The Corrupting Power of Unchecked Ambition
• The Relationship Between Cruelty and Masculinity
• The Difference Between Kingship and Tyranny
• The Complexity of Action

DEATH

• The Mystery of Death
• The Nation as a Diseased Body

LOVE

• Love’s Difficulty
• The Forcefulness of Love
• Love as a Cause of Violence
• The Individual Versus Society
• The Inevitability of Fate

SURREAL

• Magic
• Dreams
• The Impossibility of Certainty

These themes relate to my research as they are all strong themes throughout particular plays by Shakespeare.

The research activities I will undertake in order to explore these themes further include; looking into events happening in today's society relevant to my themes- newspapers. Interview people about the subjects/themes. Look at Picassos life and work - his abstract way of working with the human figure, line, shape and colour.
