Development Of My Initial Practical Ideas
I have develoed some realistic versions of my initial ideas - From this I have chosen the idea which I am going to carry on developing and that is Idea 2 (the torch). I have decided to carry on with this idea because I feel it has the strongest concept behind it and it can be developed in many different ways.
Plan For The Essay
Look at - plain painted portraits(just the person)
- plain photographic portraits(just the person)
- painted portraits with surroundings/possessions
- photographic portraits with surroundings/possessions
Then within this I will talk about how paintings take a long period of time and your feelings change and how photographs are instant and many can be taken in the period of one painted portrait and you can capture all different moods.

Influences On Practical Work
After choosing my ideas, I decided to have a look back at the artists from the initial presentation who have a connection with my work and help it to develop. I found that Arcimbaldo associated well with my first 2 ideas as they are based on build the face up from different objects. Then for idea 3 I looked back and forth trying to find a connection between the artist then I come across the Freida Kahlo painting of herself in two different styles and this links as I am going to show two different ways in which i could end up depending of the result of my present day.

Thinking About The Topic
As a class we researched artists that have experimented with portraiture, identity and changes. I start to gather ideas and I found myself unable to stop because there are so many aspects to a character in terms of personality, appearance and surroundings. So I chose the three ideas that I felt to be the strongest and concentrated on them – these are those ideas –
1: This idea is about meeting new people as you go through life. It shows the split that in order to meet new people you have to leave but not forget people u know already
2: This idea is based on your identity being ever expanding. This idea revolves around that you are a flame and you keep learning things / doing things right up till the time of your death but if you believe in heaven then u could take this as a symbol for life basically because you could say that the new things you learn feed the flame so along as you are learning / doing more you will be burning.
3: This idea revolves around what may happen in the future depending on what happens to myself now. This idea takes that if I am successful in my life in will lead me on to bigger and better things where as if I am unsuccessful in my quest I will be a failure.

My Initial Thoughts About The Project
I thought it would be good as I would be able to use my skills gained from using Photoshop in photography. This project will give us a chance to show aspects of ourselves across our class. I thought this project will give us a lot of roads to explore as there are many aspects to me as a character.
