Considerations for end of year exhibition






Im really trying to take note of my thoughts lately because those can usually lead me into creative topics which will give me drive and passion to create a really good final.
Checkout my last project here on The Psychology of Perfection

Topics on my mind at the moment are

conformity.

And being politically correct.

I wrote, designed and made a children's book in my first year about conformity, ill post pics up when i do a proper shoot. Im interested in the way that people leach off each other, have the need to be a part of something, and copy each other. Im also interested in the way in which social groups are formed stereotypically and the psychological aspects of how we place ourselves into categories in our surroundings.

The politically correct thought came from a random thought of historical cussing. like such events in history can cause a hush hush to certain labels or groups. For example the word "nigger" (see i even felt bad for typing that). So we all kinda know that we should'nt use that word, its learned behaviour because it has such negative connotations, BUT is it the same kinda thing as say, a person forgiving someone for cheating on them? like obviously not at the same magnitude, but we have to learn to face certain demons ourselves so we can move on with life as individuals, but should we do that globally? get over things in history so we can move on globally?
I don't even know if that makes sense, oh well, it was just a thought.
(Even if its silly, if i don't record it ill forget)

Anyway i'm going to continue exploring my thoughts until i find that thing that makes me spiral into an insane research and concept mode, and then figure out how i'm going to get that idea across.
Id really like to use stop-motion animation though

The universe will suss me out
