Thinking through drawing

Following the Pecha Kucha presentation's on two projects; Designer Saviour and Inevitable airbag. Monday 20th October was spent with drawing tasks. In order to find our territory for our final major project. I hesitated to start with, concerned with the acknowledgment of my subject for this year. However after being allowed a moment of brainstorming (writing) I realised that a lot of my interests will, overtime, become self contained in the project. I will subconsciously take the experiments and work in a particular direction. The area I am dabbling in is the artificial, I have been drawing from 10 (key) words that help to identify ideas and experiments. I would like to bring ethics into the project. Other areas of interest are communication and language, Social etiquette and our future.  I found a link with the two projects I did last week and think there is some relation to what I am currently investigating.

I am concerned that the studio is very distracting and hard to completely immerse myself within the project. But I am trying to settle comfortably and try to overcome it, because it is better to be amongst everyone. However I will do some work on Saturday to make sure I am completely immersed and understand where i'm at. Making sure i'm comfortable and if not rectify that.

For the rest of the week I have been drawing. I have decided not to worry about how it looks; as long as I can understand it and get ideas from it. It has been ten times as hard to think through drawing. It is a comforting feeling that most of my year struggle with this as well and often write to create ideas. So we can all battle through this together. I am slowly getting through this, I will perform much better tomorrow. I have bought a scroll of paper as a way of trying to process ideas easier. I wanted to document everything down on this paper, such as lecture notes, so i document all of my thoughts in one, but it is quite difficult, anyway, we shall see.
