Critical Study: Proposal

Statement of Purpose:
I expect to develop a greater understanding of his work, his motivation.
What started his use of sreet art?
How others see his work…

What do you hope to learn from this study? How does it relate to your area of practice?
I will build a research file that I can use to answer my title question and which will support my understanding of his and other street/art/design work.

Methodology:
I intend to start by reading the relevant books by Shepard Fairey showing examples of his work, plus a relating website showing his current projects. Also I will be looking into all possible relating artists and designers, for example Banksy, D*Face and The London Police.

What problems may you encounter?
I will find out if there are any places currently exhibiting examples of his and other designers work and go and visit. I will review all work, articles and publications and compare work of his with pieces by other artists/designers.
