Persons of Note- Initial Stages

My three persons of note:
  • Oliver Postgate
  • Prince Buster
  • Amy Johnson
Knowledge and Understanding:






Most interesting points about Oliver Postgate:


  • His imprisonment in the 1940's for refusing to go to war
  • Collaboration with Peter Firmin and development and success of 'Small films'
  • Imagination and communication with a young audience
How could I develop this further?
  • Make a series of work based on the success of his creations, although I am not entirely keen on producing illustrated work on something that has already been created by an individual.





Most interesting points about Prince Buster:

  • Success in the music industry from a young age
  • Number of records produced
How could I develop this further?

To be honest, I was quite dismissive of Prince Buster, due to the fact that I had very little interest in him (nothing personal) and couldn't really see how I could develop pieces of illustration around him as a person when I don't have much to be inspired by.






Most interesting points about Amy Johnson:

  • Her 'Gutsy' attitude towards life
  • Strive and spirit for adventure
  • The amount she achieved in her short life
How could I develop this further?

I saw Amy Johnson as the person of note with having the most potential to explore creatively. As the person I admired the most out of the three choices, I see a lot of scope in finding out more about her life and related elements through further research and development.
