One on One tutorial with Matt-tuesday

after feeling unsuccessful in the 'PDA" research i tried to gather on monday, i talked to Matt about how i am struggling to get inspiration for this subject matter, and gather relevant/interesting visual research.

we looked at my 5 potential lines of further development again and tried to expand the pigeon body language and dialogue idea.

we discussed the idea of simp lying researching further into pigeons- starting of listed things that we know about pigeons. one idea that i found interesting was the name given to a group of pigeons -'flock' this made me think about other animals and group names given to th em. 

collective nouns of animals

collective nouns of birds

some of these group names are very interesting and symbolic, such as a murder of crows- this could be quite interesting to produce illustrations of the animals incorporating their group names.

another potential idea development that interested me when thinking about thinks related to pigeons was pigeon keeper and the sport behind pigeon keeping. i liked this idea as it would mean i could focus on figures in my work.

and lastly we discussed looking into 'social norms' of a flock of pigeons- behaviours which you expect to see from them- this could be interesting to develop and capture.
