project proposal

• research question
  as of yet not defined, around protest art/ social art/ community art and how children can relate to these topics.
• methodology
  the actual workshops combined with teaching research, community art research and methodology as well as research into the history and importance of protest art, for my own work and for the workshops.
  Look at Vroom protest edition.
• practical direction
  do the exact workshop myself twice and again after the classes. reflect, simplify and streamline my practice to reach a different audience (this is practical development of my own practice). I will need to figure out what elements of the proposed workshops are successful and figure out how timings would work with a younger audience. Doing the workshop will also give me the opportunity to make examples for the classes.
• aspects that need defining
  the question (but I feel this may come with more work and time)
  my direction with personal artwork post lessons, what will my body of work be based around? a specific social issue or multiple social issues and one specific medium e.g. posters?
• aspects that need expanding
  how my practical work and sketchbook work integrates with my theoretical and first hand research
  how might the workshops with the children affect my personal practice? make examples of protest art before and after so I can analyse any shifts in visual language
• additional notes
  personal work could be - how have the workshops and content created effected my personal practice, will it make me approach my own work differently? eg children might use bold defined but naive and messy type - how do I then carry this naivety into my own work in a professional way yet keep this essence visually of DIY genuine feeling?
  look into behaviour management and teaching psychology before lessons, read Petty's teaching theory and focus on how I will theoretically approach the classroom
