I have been trying to think of interesting themes for this years COP project. Last year I enjoyed researching the idea of universally recognised symbols. I would like to try and find a theme that will directly impact my practice. I have been trying to brainstorm ideas that I find interesting and that will help me to push the boundaries of how I view illustration.
- I think it would be useful to try and use methods that I don't normally use in my practice during this module to try and broaden my practice.
- I would like to investigate the Reappropriation of subculture/counterculture by high fashion. I find it interesting that counter cultures often lead the way in innovation of fashion and art and their aesthetics are invariably adopted by high fashion labels once they reach a certain level of popularity. is it possible for these labels or designers to reproduce the message of these cultures without losing the essence of it in the process. Kidult is a graffiti artist from Paris who targets fashion stores for their reappropriation if graffiti and the 'Vision' section of his website makes for interesting reading. Kidult Vision
- I would like to investigate the influence of Japanese art of western art and design.
- How fiction benefits society. Neil Gaiman Fiction
- How Genre works Neil Gaiman and Kazuo Ishiguro
- How can Illustration change the world Ted Talk JR
- cultural appropriation
- praise for appropriation
