Generating Fine Art Ideas

Starting Point

10/05/16

My starting point for this project was to pinpoint things that I could focus on that were related to worksop. I began by focusing on the places within worksop, as well as those around, and also looked a little bit into the history of worksop.

I wasn't interested enough in any of the ideas to take them further, and so rather than looking at places around or in worksop, I wanted to look at the pope who came out of Worksop that had made a name for themselves.

Famous names from Worksop:

- Donald Pleasance: Actor

- John Parr: Musician

- Lee Westwood: Golfer

- Sarah-Jane Honeywell

- Graham Taylor: Football Manager

- Bruce Dickinson: Musician

- Anne Foy: Children's TV Presenter

- Ian Bennett: Goalkeeper

- Gwen Grant: Writer

- Mark Foster: Golfer

- George Best: Goalkeeper

The person who I was least interested in doing was Bruce Dickinson, mainly because if I look at the artwork for the band, I find it very off-putting and almost immature.

I was most interested in looking into Donald Pleasance because of the characters he had played and because of how notorious his James Bond Character was, which I thought followed my idea of creating a postbox with a design that didn't hold any context as to what the design implied, but was still a well known and obvious design for people who didn't know where Pleasance came from.
