Unit 8- Project Proposal

	Candidate Name	Georgie Lee
	Pathway
	Project Title	What is Freedom? An individual opinion of Freedom
	Section 1: Rationale (Approx 100 words)
	My project brief is the word Freedom which links into the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. I thought about what Freedom means to me and realised the word means different things to individuals past and present. I then looked at images and quotations and it confirmed that there is not one clear interpretation of Freedom. Everybody will have a different understanding of the word, have a different meaning in what freedom means to them and have a different image to represent this. I have decided to link it together and build a sketchbook of images and quotes both past and present. 101 words
Section 2: Project Concept (approx 200 words)
The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants’ Oxford Dictionary My idea of freedom is being grateful for the beginning of rights the Magna Carta gave to people and these have developed where an individual can express their own opinion and imagination. Freedom is expressing yourself, whether it is through drawing and painting, writing, singing, drama, speaking your opinion or even a hobby like gardening. I am deciding to ask family members and friends of different genders and age groups their view on what Freedom means to them. I have also tweeted some celebrities asking their views on Freedom but I am not particularly expecting a response – it was just another idea I had to research my rationale. I have researched quotes on Freedom ranging from Nancy Astor, Voltaire to Noel Fielding (making it relevant to me). I am then going to try and portray the quotes in the format of sketches and drawings using different media so I can create bright and visual individual sheets which will also demonstrate my idea that Freedom can be represented by anything and is due to individual interpretation. 202 words

Section 3: Evaluation (approx 50 words)

I will evaluate my research and chose a cross section of quotes and images which I will then try and portray in a visual format in my sketchbook. I hope my completed work will reflect my original idea that that there is no clear interpretation of freedom but it is down to an individuals perception (which in a way is a reflection of personal freedom). 63 words

I am keeping a check sheet at the moment and I will update this on my final submission.
