Research Collecting

I am intending on finding as much primary and secondary research as possible, as long as it is loosely related it is worth visiting. Primary research may come from visiting galleries and creating quick drawings with a range of materials and resources straight from the piece. Also, if i manage to seek an opportunity to gain any newspaper articles, literature or maybe even get an interview with an artist it will be primary. It depends a lot on who i am looking at and the circumstances, i.e if they are still living or particularly famous. In terms of gaining secondary research, I am intending on using the library at college as this has been a useful resource for me in previous projects, the internet i will use as a last resort for information. In terms of contextual research i will be able to use myself as a source for this project, or potentially somebody close to me and see how they see 'self'. After primarily seeing how my chosen artists work, if it influences me in terms of materials and processes i will ensure i have researched through asking professionals or people with experience, and then in turn applying what i can learn from using them and helpful tips from helpful books.
