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.
