So far in my sketchbook I had been largely unsure about what idea I would use as a topic for my project, so whilst I waited for this to come to me I figured it would be a good opportunity to just work on my visual language and experiment with media, rather than do nothing at all! The stuff I made I still made in mind of a child as an audience, so I feel it's still somewhat relevant.
I started to think about myself as a child and what I wanted/ needed. As a child I was incredibly timid and scared of many things (sometimes in quite an existentialist way) and I really needed something to make me more confident! I like the idea of 'fears' as a starting point, but to approach it in quite a broad and maybe metaphorical way. At this point I don't imagine it to be just a straight narrative story with a moral at the end, say like The Gruffalo. At the same time it needs to be enjoyable and understandable!
When I had my tutorial with Ben he encouraged me to continue this experimenting with media but also to look into the more scientific/ academic side of child fears to give the work some substance, but at this point the project doesn't need a massive sense of direction.
