Module Title	Context of Practice 2

1. Outline how you have identified an issue and approached practical responses so far

I have decided to look at the issue of homelessness. i decided on this after exploring the theme of ‘growth is not necessarily good’ a quote from the …manifesto  and linked homelessness as  a possible downfall of over population. So far I have illustrated issues and situations that relate to homelessness such as charity shops, soup kitchens, food banks, and homeless people in general. I could develop by looking at Housing, medical welfare, animals, etc

2. Identify the ways in which your visual responses and theory are connected. How and why does one process inform the other?

‘how are the homeless represented in British society.’ My essay will focus on explaining the stereotypical views public have about homeless people and why, it will also identify specific case studies of people who are homeless to show the other side to the stereotype. My visual work will highlight the specific case studies of homeless people, taking a more in-depth look into their lives and why they have ended up homeless. I will illustrate portraits, surroundings they find/have found themselves etc. I could contact local organisation such as st Georges crypt, heart hounds to try and establish relationships with individual – could potentially create a campaign they could use to attract people in.

3. List the visual research sources you are using to develop and inform your practical responses
