tutorial

My tutorial went well, I need to tweak my question a bit more, make it less of a 'yes or no' answer and more of an exploratory statement. possibly something like:

'An examination of visual propaganda during the period of the Russian Revolution from 1917-1930 and how it infiltrated the culture of the time'

Teresa suggested I talk about how russia was just before the revolution, under the rule of the Tsar, looking at what art was like, how the streets looked - were there propaganda posters then? And then have imagery of the initial propaganda created in 1917, examine the contrast.
I could also look at how Russia is today, the art and visual work created under Putin's rule, whether propaganda still exists in a big way.

I need to do a lot more thinking about my practical, but I think ideas might start coming once I begin making and playing with the different processes. I could possibly start making simple compositions and juxtapositions using the aesthetic while also getting my head around screen printing. 

Over the next two weeks until tutorial:
- do more focused reading
- start sketch booking, coming up with compositions/ideas
- make clear structure for essay
- write draft of first chapter
- bring in 5 key visuals of russia before and after revolution
