The Research Process, Finding My Topic - Coggle Diagram
-
Finding My Topic
Initial Research
Creating a Hypothesis
Focused Research
Subtopics
Finalizing the Argument
FEELINGS
happy, excited, smart, confident, overwhelmed, proud.
THOUGHTS
I wish I could cover more, because I find it all to be fascinating and important to my topic. The argument feels strong and based in sound research. Overall I'm happy with the outcome.
ACTIONS
Focusing more strictly on the exact subtopics and overall theme. Organizing materials into easier to navigate spaces. Laying out a more solid blueprint
FEELINGS
stable, contained, confident, hopeful, slightly disappointed in reducing the depth of possible information.
THOUGHTS
-class-sex-race-pedagogies. Unfortunately there is just too much information to cover within one thesis. Unless I wanted to write a whole book, or series of books, its unfeasible.
Therefore I should focus on the core principals of what the distinctions are and why they are problematic. Most importantly addressing how this can and should be fixed within a systemic system.
ACTIONS
Thinking critically about what is most important, doing further research to see what helps people the most, lookin into pedagogies,
FEELINGS
worried, anxious, overwhelmed, disappointed in systems, importance
THOUGHTS
I still don't know exactly what subtopics are most important. The topic feels deeply important but too broad.
ACTIONS
Paying attention to how my own professors are teaching, being vigilant on how class readings talk about different variations of art. Following class assignments. Looking into multiple facets that I can focus more on. Looking into educational practices that are more inclusive, as well as the effects they have on people.
FEELINGS
educated, fulfilled, smart, anxious, excited, curious, empowered.
THOUGHTS
"The Distinction Between Good Art and Bad Art (fine art and craft) is Dependent on Colonization, Sexism, and Classism." While this is a strong opinion, I feel it holds true throughout multiple cultures and artistic platforms. I seems relatively easy to prove, but the hard part seems to be how we can change these teachings on a systemic level.
ACTIONS
Examining what defines "fine art" in educational literature and theory, thinking critically about what makes something a craft, or what is considered bad art: cheap materials, traditionally feminine art practices, traditional cultural art that differs from photo realism etc.
FEELINGS
overwhelmed, unsure, inquisitive, excited, deciphering my own thoughts.
THOUGHTS
There's more on this topic than I previously thought. What cultures should I look at more specifically? What is my personal belief on what art is? What am I focusing on?
ACTIONS
Following class guidelines, reading books on the subject (Lucy Lippard.) Listening to marginalized individuals perspectives through YouTube and podcasts.
FEELINGS
excited, empowered, nervous about limited information, hopeful for change,
THOUGHTS
I'm a marginalized individual who notices how the art world dismisses art created by marginalized communities. As an educator I want to shape for people view art, and change the way we systemically label "fine art." This will allow more people to have access to art and be represented in a meaningful way.
ACTIONS
Speaking with friends and professors, doing more research, viewing the world in the way I hope to make others view it.
