Concept and Inspiration Mindmap
Our first task on this unit was to analyze and look at how artists come up with and generate ideas, do they look at the news? Do they look at recent political issues? Do they take inspiration from older art movements and styles? Do they aim to portray something so on and so forth. This mindmap is very simple and not very interesting, I mainly focused on getting the point across and demonstrating as many different ways as possible, looking back, I definitely feel that this mindmap could've been a lot more detailed, and maybe I should've explained some of the listed ways? I could've also added some examples using imagery maybe? I feel that looking back I did not explore the mindmap task as thoroughly or creatively as I could've done. In the moment of actually making the mindmap, I did feel a little stuck as to what I could do with it creatively as I was paying much more attention to the quantity of ideas as opposed to showing them or demonstrating them creatively. This is something that in future and on future courses I hope to remedy. I did however come up with many ideas and ways or more specifically, sources that inspiration can be taken from which definitely helped further on down the road of this unit.
