At this point I think it's useful to just pick a category and run with it- much more useful than sitting around deliberating about it anyway. For this project I decided to go with Children's Books and Education because it's something I'd consider to become part of my practice but I'm not sure!
I'm not sure what I'd quite like to draw/ make/ write about so at this point it's quite open. I'm interested in science, particularly biology and nature (although I do lack knowledge, so investigating things will also be a fun part of the project). I started thinking about "growth", and after looking at Blexbolex's Seasons and Charles and Ray Eames' Powers of Ten I've been thinking about "connections" and "relationships" between different things- sort of looking at the earth in a holistic sense. It's a big thing, and very broad and I'm aware it may be way too broad to work with. But as a starting point it's something to draw and think about! Even if I focus on something I look at in this process. Maybe it would be about parallels between different subjects.
The idea of making something educational isn't something I'd be wholly comfortable with- I'd like to make something less plainly factual and maybe with a narrative- hence why I thought about connections and relationships between different phenomenons. I'd also like to consider at this point that this book wouldn't necessarily have to be for children, and could be more of an interesting but also educational read/ experience for adults.
