The hours I put in this week were geared primarily toward research and exploration. In sync with my direction, I began my search by looking through one of my favorite books, Women in the Material World, a book which I have cherished for many years now and will find extremely useful throughout this project. After making a list of countries to explore, I decided to begin with Bhutan, a tiny Himalayan country wedged in between India and China, and read the chapter dedicated to this country. I spent a couple hours browsing several online databases and found a number of articles from various academic journals, which I later read, highlighting information that could possibly be incorporated into a central concept. I made notes in my sketchbook and picked out various themes, associations, and objects that held potential for playing a role in the final drawings depicting Bhutan. I also spent time looking for images that I could use within the piece. The total number of hours spent researching and journaling about Bhutan was 7 hours. I also spent 2 hours making bad art, 1 hour thinking and journaling about bad art in my sketchbook and my blog, and another hour in class.
Total: 11 hours
Total: 11 hours
THERE IS OVERWHELMING DRAMA AND VALUE IN EACH AND EVERY HUMAN LIFE, NO MATTER HOW PROFOUNDLY THESE LIVES ARE IGNORED. THESE ARE LIVES UPON WHICH THE WELL-BEING OF THE WORLD DEPENDS.
