PART ONE - Generate 10 key words that relate to your project
1. Authenticity
2. Meaning
3. Personal
4. Symbolism
5. Narrative
6. Visual map
7. Personal geography
8. Meaning over aesthetic
9. Low culture
10. Pictograms
Authenticity + meaning = A piece of art without meaning isn't authentic. Meaning provides authenticity.
Personal + symbols = Symbols and motifs may be used to represent a greater personal meaning
Narrative + visual map = Like a mural, piece of pottery, or a tapestry, all of these are adorned with images that tell a story and act as a visual map
Personal geography + meaning over aesthetic = The personal narrative embedded into an image or piece of art is more important than representational image-making, or how 'good' it looks
Low culture + pictograms = Pictograms are simple images, a bigger idea boiled down into a simple image. Much like the imagery in folk art, it may not be accurate or realistic but it represents bigger themes; traditions, people, communities, memories, etc etc.

PART TWO - Use the 10 point plans to consider the development of the brief a plan of what you have done. Then fill out and specify the purpose and reasoning behind each step.
1. Research (books, articles, texts) - Gained an understanding of folk art and its values, origins, and have developed themes for my COP project.
2. Artist research (historical + contemporary) - Looking at examples of folk art (quilts, pottery, traditional art done by everyday people), dissected these on a visual level and in terms of their values/what they represent. Strengthened my own ideas on non-accurate image making, relates to what I'm doing within illustration.
3. Observational drawing - Based on my own sights and experiences, beginning to bring my own personal aspect to the project, aligning myself with the ideals and values of folk art but in my own way.
4. Visual research - Sketching, collage, general image-making, sketchbook work. Turning my theoretical ideas into visuals.
5. Maps - Bringing in ideas from maps, diagrams, pictograms. Maps are a way of visually interpreting the world around us. But I'm doing this from a personal standpoint rather than real geography.
6. Simplification - Boiling down bigger concepts I've thought about and discussed in my work into much simpler pictures.
7. Collage - Assembling drawings, sketches, paper, piecing together images that represent locations and things familiar to me, my memories, justifying their non-representational appearance.
