Final Major Project Week 1 Day 1 - Research

For the First week of the final Major project I begun to think about the different ways in which I could look at my project. On the 16/03/2014 I decided to start off my research by carrying out online research on various articles as evidence that my issue of mental instability amongst teenagers had actually existed. My reason for having to prove this was due to one of the tutors assuming that I had only made a generalisation about teenagers from my own friends and that this was not actually something that was a major problem to be shown graphically however after a talk and show of some of my research she agreed that this was a real life problem. In addition to my gathering of articles of the issue I looked online to find gallery exhibitions that had related to the kind of imaginative and abstract mind of a teenager. I found several and later in the week had gone to visit them.

Later in the day I thought it would be sensible to look into some books on self identity and perception in a sociological/psychological approach therefore used the books 'Modernity and Self identity' and 'interpersonal perception in order to find some theory behind the thoughts of a mind and how it could be affected, allowing me to brainstorm my initial ideas with things such as methods of escapism and causes of depression ect. In addition to this I thought it would be useful to organise a very small group of 4-5 people for the wednesday to talk about what they had thought was very important about how young people stress could be tackled in a graphic way and what would came to thier mind when told about methods of escapism from stress.
