Week 2 food project 16th october

This week my course recieved a lecture from a person who had previously done the course and had then gone onto doing a masters degree at the royal college of art. He showed us his work and then we later went to an art gallery and saw some of his work as well as other peoples. it was a good exhibition, but im not a huge fan of the simplistic ideas involved in the mans work, I found the ideas behind it and the unlying meanings uninteresting and i felt the images were not powerful enough to grasp someones attention.
We were then given a project to do which is to be handed in on the 23rd of november. the project is to be based upon the word food. Food can be a very broad topic as it links to so many different things in life such as even war, disease, money etc and so I then decided to create a mind map to spread my ideas onto, therefore laying all of my ideas onto a piece of paper which makes them easier to look at and go into thus developing more ideas. when doing the mind map it was the word obesity that grabbed my attention the most as this could be a really interesting topic to go into. it could be involving the way a person/people feel about the topic, or being obese themselves, or it could be the effects obesity has, healthwise or society wise.
