For my initial ideas to do with Journeys and Pathways I have started to think about the idea of aging in a development or journey and the idea of things changing is a journey and the development of things like buildings or fashion for example.
For my original response to our stimuli of ‘Journeys and Pathways’, i want to focus on the idea how something has adapted or evolved. My ideas include:
The journey of an object-an antiques journey to where it is now
Coming of age-the journey of the gap between being an adult or a child
Comparing old portraits of people versus what they look like now
Older people reflecting their younger side for example: tattoos they got when they were younger or someone trying on their wedding dress/suit and revisiting the feeling they had on the day
Surf history of Jersey-showing how much places like the Watersplash and St. Ouens have changed and how the crowds have adapted
With the title journeys and pathways, I feel that there are 4 main subject areas which I would be able to tackle. Landscape, abstract, portraiture and photo-montage are the areas which would be appropriate to go down as they are able to portray journeys and pathways in an understandable way.
