-Gardening improves Mental Health, I was firstly inspired by a family member when i thought up this idea. They attend a gardening nursery in poole, all the people that volunteer (except the manager) are diagnosed with different forms of mental illness. They attend this gardening centre to work and meet people, I find this charity a very positive and inspiring cause. I found this charity an inspiring and meaningful basis on which i could focus my illustrations on. I plan on visiting the charity on a regular basis, so i can record my visit. I want to meet the people who go there and interview them, find out there personalities and how the gardening centre has helped them. This is a great opportunity to add meaning to my drawings, I want this project to project a positive attitude on the work they do at the charity. My target audience will be personal to the people who attend and to my experience, I want to bring awareness about mental health. I think this concept has massive potential to expand ideas and experiment with different mediums! At this point i am very set on thought that i could do portraits of the volunteers who attend, faces, hands, their favourite plants. I want to delve in to the history of people with mental health, artists who have used it as there concept. I want to explore ways i can illustrate emotion, by using printing techniques using flowers.
I find the link between- Personality+Gardening+Working hands+ Flowers= Mental wealth. A very exciting area to look in and gives me a lot areas to look into, all for a meaningful cause!
The idea I will be focusing on!
