PROJECT PROPOSAL

Project Proposal

For this final major project, I want to look into the idea of using mental health and stress anxiety which I struggle with myself. I would like to look at the possibility of combining those issues with coping mechanisms that I use to help improve my situation.

I would also like to look at other peoples coping methods that help them if in the same struggling position, and experiment with using relevant and representative equipment and materials to get my ideas across and what it is exactly that I’m trying to express.

The project topic itself that I’m interested in doing is quite a personal subject both to myself and hopefully my future audiences will be able to see aspects of that in my art piece and development progress.
I think in the current situation we are all in due to the pandemic, I believe that what I’m thinking of doing is also revivant to the current events which are happening. For example, having to isolate myself due to restrictions has a big part on my mental well-being and therefore has both influence and imposes effects on my work progress and everyday life.

I want to think about researching artists that may have relations to my project topic, and which could possibly influence and help develop my ideas further. Examples of artists I have thought about so far include Damien Hirst, Andy Goldsworthy and Antony Gormley.

I hope to experiment with a range of materials, techniques and concepts throughout the duration of the project to expand my skill and resources to develop practice wise.
