Big Idea Project

1. A.Decide on a Big Idea that intrigues you. This should have personal interest to you and a lot of potential for exploration. Don’t choose something that you can’t personally connect with. Next, select potential Topics that narrow the focus of the Big Idea. These can change later. Be specific.
   
   My example:Big Idea: Mystery
   Potential Topics: Lack of knowledge. Knowing where you are, who you are, who you're around, what you're hearing, even what you're tasting. Lack of perception or distortion. Something that isn't so easy to just comprehend.
   
   

2. B.Generate a few “Essential Questions” that can lead to investigation. These questions might directly lead you to a work of art. They may not. That’s okay too.My example:
   
   

What is mysterious?

How can you be confusing repeatedly but stick to a main idea?

Who am I?

What makes people think beyond what they actually see?

What is Religion?

What's the difference between knowledge and belief?

What is something people usually don't understand?

Is there an answer for everything?

Is it alright that there isn't? (last question)

Do things have a meaning before we associate a feeling with the object or thing?

Are everyone's feeling unique? They have to intersect at some point?

Are people's thoughts parallel to each other?

Why do mysteries always have to be solved? 

Are some things better left off unknown?

Is intelligences the solving of mystery?

Can we as people convince ourselves that our beliefs are knowledge?

100. C.Generate at least 10 statements about the Big Idea in the following way:

    ____________ is about ____________.

    My example:

Mystery is the unknown.

Mystery is needing further comprehension.

Mystery is complex.

Mystery is the opposite of ignorance.

Mystery is longing for acceptance.

Mystery is avoided.

Mystery is attractive and intriguing to people.

Mystery is life.

Mystery is something knowledge can solve.

Mystery is attainable.

Intervention Statement

Artist Statement:

Your typical person may have a pet. A cat, a dog, a hamster, whatever it may be. Although we consider this animals to be inferior to us we hold them at such a high regard. I know if my dog died today I would be bedridden and immovable. Most people consider their pet to be family, but we still shop for them like we’re purchasing a new car of sorts. So i wanted to display this visually.
First off, my idea was to have my friend dressed as a dog and have them run around and play with others at a park as if it was normal. Well i live in a place with unpredictable weather to say the least.
That plan fell through so i thought it might be just as good to act like you could purchase another person at a store. This plan included a dog costume as well. Of course my friend didn’t find this costume before hand and showed up to the pet store with a dinosaur costume. This was a bit off from my message but funny nonetheless. So I was looking forward to a worker’s reaction to someone attempting to buy an extinct animal from their pet store.
So I didn’t exactly choose for this method of intervention but it ended up being about just as rewarding. I had my base concept in tact but strayed a bit due to inconvenience. So overall I am pleasantly pleased with this intervention I have performed.
