BLOGGING LECTURES- Use the material in a way that links to you as an illustrator, give an example of an illustrator who can be connected to the point you're trying to make.
Social narrative - last year my essay was focused on Hogarth and his 18th Century contemporaries and how they used illustration to reflect the sociopolitical issues going on during their times. I think I will continue along this line focusing on sociopolitical issues however this time focusing on how illustrations these days effect us consciously or subconsciously and how they are used to challenge those in power without joining into the corruption of political groups... instead using humour and shock/outrage to challenge the norms of our society that we generally take for granted as being the way things should be.
Id like to start off by researching into South Park, I have looked at surface level at the Simpsons and family guy but I think South Park would be best to start with as it has been on longer and it is still mainly originating from the ideas of the two creators, running more low budget episodes and animations meaning they are able to follow current events and release related episodes in time to join the 'conversation' unlike the more high budget, family value- orientated shows like the Simpsons that cash in on celebrity voices throughout their episodes.
I will start off this research by watching and reading interviews with the shows creators as well as looking at other peoples critiques of the show. I will also watch episodes to see if I can find some themes running throughout multiple episodes rather than just episode specific issues.
