Synthesis List - Study Task 8

 

I have completed my synthesis list for each step saying what I did, how/ why I did it and what I found as it said on the study task. From what I read on the study task it sounds like this should for the basis of my essay. However, on the powerpoint it says I need to look at two specific works of art that I produced and evaluate their success/ content/ how they relate to my theme, compare them to an image in essay 2 and use 4 quotes from 3 of my sources. This has baffled me and I now have no idea how to structure my essay. Is the whole essay just me talking about two specific images and how my research lead to me creating them instead of talking about my research in order of how I did it? Also It says not to speak in the first person. I'm not sure how to do this if I'm discussing work that I created. Do I just refer to me as they or if its an image analysis I guess I could be like this stemmed from this research (rather then I did this research).

I am going to post this query on the group chat.

***(forgot to put in) - RATIONALE. This helped me to re define what I was doing and helped to get my intensions straight in my head. Before writing it I was in a phase of just producing lots of work and not stopping to think and reflect upon what I was doing. I stuck perfectly to the intensions in my rational. I think that this was because I was very clear on what I wanted to achieve and I was already quite close to the end of my journal.

My two images for the analysis:

The first image would be interesting because it is was one of my initial drawings based on my essay themes which directly lead me to explore this idea of mass production and the one off. It also visually relates well to 'Campbell's Soup Cans'.

The second image would work well because it would allow me to this desire for authenticity and its value. As well as weather or not this can be technologically simulated. This would work well because it would allow me to easily link it back to my original concept of status and what is desirable.

I definitely want to discuss the third image because it is one of the final images of my book and it represents what all of my research lead to. It allow me to discuss my 30 page mountain series and my findings.
