Hi. so I'm having trouble finding ideas for my IWB! You guys would be of great help if you could give me names of good artists I could critique. I am interested in abstract, and just modern art.... like of modern ideas, scenery...etc! Also, I would appreciate it if you guys just give me come ideas of what I should research on.. maybe something that you have researched in the past and have found interesting?
My teacher is always telling us to just research anything even if it doesnt really relate to the studio work you were/are working on? is that true? thanks in advance! I'm doing really bad with my IWB and any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED!

Hi Dalal4lyfe! What is the theme you are working on? Your studio work and IWB should be connected and there should be a thread of ideas connecting one piece to the next. (See "all about themes" page) You should not be randomly creating pages that have nothing to do with your studio work. True...if you see something that grabs you and is possible inspiration for future work, then out it in....but if you look at the IB Art criteria "Integration" it has to do with the book's relevance to your studio work. If you have ideas that have depth and you are really interested in then the IWB should flow and you will never run out of ideas to research...so are you working on ideas that interest you?...and then continue them on in more depth and/or breadth in the next piece. BTW...research does not only have to be of the formal kind (from a book or website) but can take all kinds of forms. Research is information gathering from sources outside yourself...observations, conversations, movies, tv, news, experimentation...but should all connect with your ideas. OK, I could go on and on but I hope this answers your question. :)
