Assignment 1: The Big Idea
     My idea for this big project bounces between beauty and death. Both are interesting subjects with a wide range of subcategories and hundreds if not thousands of meanings and interpretations.

Under beauty I could look into the topics of female beauty, ideal beauty, my idea of beauty, male beauty, cultural beauty, stereotypical beauty, new beauty versus old.... Human beauty or animal, however I perfer to look into human beauty.
What is beauty? Something charming and aweinspiring, it is natural.
Is it the same or different for men and women? It is different with everyone and everything.
Is it simple? One of the simplest concepts, something either is or is not beautiful.
What are the cultural prefences to beauty? Of course
Is it skin deep or down to the core? There are many layers of beauty to me.
Is it in the stroke of the piece or the subject matter? Every detail counts when it comes to beauty.
What do I consider beautiful? Both simple and complex images, experiences, peoples, and ideas.

Then there is the subject of death. I could look into types of death or relgious ideas of the world after. I could look into creatures involved in death, literally or in myths.
What is death to me? Something no one knows about.
Is death good or bad? For some it may be bad and others good. We do not know about the otherside.
Is it inevitable? As far as we know.
Is it aweful or beautiful? sSometims aweful but hopefully beautiful on the otherside.
