Initial Ideas Mind Map

Everyday Activities

I liked this topic because I feel like I can express my ideas and feelings through this topic well as it covers many ideas that I can express. Everyday activities is a broad subject so a lot of ideas will fit into it which makes it an easier topic to express my ideas into. Along with this topic I also looked at the photographer Bruce Davidson, he displays equal rights along with urban life. I am attracted to this  photographer because I like the messages that he portrays in his photographs as he sends a political  message throughout his work. Along the ideas of equal rights I would like to attempt to take images of a protest in London because I believe that this will spread this topic as it links to people standing up for their everyday activities, allowing them to live their lives. Also, I would like to go down the route of activities of stereotypical men and women and show the differences between their lives, this can also be linked to the equal rights of women. I think I would enjoy this topic because it gives me a chance to express all my ideas as it doesn't limit me to one.

Self-Identity

If I was to take my ideas down the self-identity topic I would be able to express myself rather than my ideas. I like the idea of this topic because it seems easier for someone to express their own selfs rather than create their own ideas. By using someone else in the photographs to express myself is a good idea because you can express your real feelings and life without technically exposing yourself to the world. If I did pick this topic I would research the photographer Herbert Bayer because I like the way that he produces abstract pieces. I would link this into my work because I like abstract work because it has a deeper meaning rather than normal work.

Out of these two topics I am going to pick everyday activities because I like to spread my ideas that I have within this topic. I would pick this topic over self-identity because I found it harder to create my ideas linked to myself, I would find it harder to produce images linked to myself rather than my ideas. I think I have more ideas links to everyday activities so it would be smart to link use this topic in my work because I would find it easier to produce work linked to this topic.
