In researching new inspirations, I am often found searching out images online of artists which I am already prompted by. By looking at their images online I am able to stumble across more of their work, in turn finding more and more art that I am fascinated with as well as new artists who are similar in style. I have folders upon folders saved on my desktop that hold hundreds of images I have not want to lose.
Furthermore, another type of research I take part in is that where I physically go out on adventures. These adventures encourage creative thinking to occur. I am able to become one with my surroundings by letting myself become absorbed in my environment. In doing this I am able to appreciate and truly understand my surrounding inspirations.
Another way I research is by looking at my friends and peers artwork whether it be at school or online web pages as Facebook or blog sites. When at school, I find much enjoyment in walking through the studio spaces of both sculptural and 2D artists on the 3rd and 5th floors of DAAP. When walking through the spaces every several months I am able to see a whole new production of current work. This way of researching art is similar to the way I partake in adventures through a town, city, abandoned building or woods.
