LEVEL 4 - LEVEL 5
I preferred the longer briefs and tutors said that they could see I was enjoying the process of investigating and using the time to really explore all avenues. Persons of Note was one of these longer briefs which allowed me to research and get under the skin of Jim Henson. I worshipped, I read and I made work that I was invested in, in response.

'About the Author' is the perfect follow-up to persons of note. I'm taking the process of research/INVESTIGATION to these authors and I'm looking forward to devoting myself to this project over Summer.
List of Authors
I LOVE READING AND DISCOVERING NEW BOOKS.
I am an avid reader and was shocked at how many of the authors weren't familiar to me...

I felt a little ashamed! HOW HAVE I NEVER READ ANYTHING BY THESE PEOPLE? But also excited by the prospect of getting to know these writers and jumping into something completely new to me!
In Persons of Note, I studied someone I already knew a lot about. I enjoyed that project but I didn't make many discoveries - which I think showed in my final outcome. I don't think it was as exciting or innovative as it could have been, since I was working with material I already knew about. My outcome felt a little stunted, restricted. I'm hoping that by opening myself up to the GREAT UNKNOWN, I will find myself learning new things and making new things too.

Initial Resarch
Initially just picking names and googling them...
I know, not a great way to research but did help me to eliminate and highlight interest quickly on a skim search. I held onto the authors who appealed to me, on gut instinct, from the material brought up on a Google search, e.g. searching the name 'Leonora Carrington' brought up Surreal paintings, photos of her with cats and information about her institutionalisation in a psychiatric hospital - facts that intrigued or personally resounded with me.
About Leonora
She reminds me of Tove Jansson (my true love whom I expected to be on the list!)

About Franz Kafka
I'd not heard of Kafka before but Bronte said that he is brilliant and very weird. His writings are known for their absurd, dark and creepy topics.
