The first thing I always do when I need inspiring is take a trip to the magical place that is Waterstones. I could honestly spend a whole day in there looking at the beautiful illustrations within the vast array of publications that they supply.
I went in today with my 'educational book' hat on, searching for some ideas about maybe producing some sort of educational pack for schools for my FMP. I looked at some gorgeous books and made note of their author,illustrator and publisher, but came away feeling even more anxious and confused. Nothing really jumped out at me with excitement and planted the seed of enthusiasm to get the ball rolling with this project.
Patrick suggested that a historical workshop pack would be right up my street; creating visual learning activities for the National Curriculum for History. But I don't know if I'm that interested in history to commit to such a huge project on it. It's only been recently that I've become interested in architectural history, but I can't say that I'm passionate enough about the Romans or the Egyptians to produce a body of really strong work on the subject.
So the confusion is the conclusion of today. I'm super anxious at the minute, so maybe I just need to focus on one thing at a time instead of trying to churn out a load of work when I'm not in the right frame of mind. Nevertheless, here are some illustrators that I admired and made note of today:
