Progress
According to my programme of works I should have finished with my case studies of picture books. This is one area I have fallen short on so far but is more likely to be a continual process that runs through until around December as these may influence my project as it begins to develop.
I should also be one week into my research through journals and books. I have begun reading books on various topics although I have only highlighted pages of interest and have still to publish posts on my blog. There are no upcoming events that I am attending this week.
Reflection
The lack of case studies last week was largely due to my creation of illustrations to send to the Bologna book fair. Although this set me back in my case studies I still feel it will have been worth it if I gain free tickets. The books I have begun to read as research have been focused on fantasy/realism and visual metaphors. These are beginning to highlight to me that I am slightly lost at present with what my proposal or main question might be.
Ideas
This week I will concentrate on both finding academic sources of information, reading the books I have and also carrying out more case studies of picture books. Hopefully by this time next week I may have found something that begins to lead my project although I will not be too worried if I don't.
The main thing in my mind is to persivere and use my time to try to find things that are of interest to me within the books or journals I read.
