Ideas for negotiated project

I have been considering a variety of topics of late for this project. Many of which i discovered were of similar themes, either informative illustration or nonsense images.

I love to experiment with my illustrations and always try to improve my work by including a new form of practice or to explore ways of changing things to enhance them. So this will be a challenge which ever direction i go.

I enjoy finding out about facts but find many non-fiction books either too busy or to be very boring. I like to see and appreciate a good bit of artwork. I think this helps the reader to understand the subject /topic but also is a visual feast for the mind and soul.

On the other hand, i thrive on the absurd and theatrical. I enjoy the nonsensical whether it is a poem/ story film or image.


Proposal

To explore how the environment and the care of it is represented. Looking at a variety of topics for consideration. 

Topics include:

Deforestation (killing animals and reducing natural resources)
Water pollution (animals, damages environment and habitats)
Hunting endangered animals (myths and trues stories)
Overfishing (bad for planet)
Air pollution (bad for health)
Light pollution (affecting our access to night sky)
Refuse/rubbish (too much throwaway packaging)
Disposal of refuse (NY has to have it shipped away on boats)
Composting (how we can help)
Upcycling (to reuse and be creative)


I will explore existing formats including picture books, e-books and other nonfiction work.
