26 october, discussion with kalpana ma'm

After looking at the net for material on beautification of city i was highly confused and scared that my research will take me nowhere and it is all getting too technical I met Kalpana ma'm, with a lot of effort and after being highly scared that my topic is gonna change i told her about what all i found, in 5 mins i was through with the discussion and i was asked to to look at public art in Bangalore. I looked at public art and then i thought that there is nothing unique in public art of Bangalore so I met ma'm again the same day and said i am confused all over again. then we started discussing again. This time the possibility of what else can i do?
wall painting in Bangalore as a phenomenon
wall as a place for self expression
etc etc ...
After a lot of discussion we thought that there is not much in their to research and i should move on to some other city and its painting. I was suggested to go see painting in Varanasi as Kalpana ma'm already made a movie on the lanes of Varanasi she told me where all can i get help and how can i proceed with the research
I made a new proposal:

What is the purpose of your research? Why is it useful?

Wall paintings have been a medium of self expression and practical use, their study will offer wall painting as an alternate medium.

After my discussion i realized that the topic is vast and it does not excite every one enough so i was asked to do on something like beautification of city or wall as a place for self expression.

I was asked to look at wall project delhi.

discussion with sumita ma'm

While i was in Bangalore i was enchanted by the paintings i saw travelling with me wherever i went, I was so into it that i felt like studying them further so i formed my proposal based upon it. The basic idea was relaxation on road.

The proposal i formed was:

What is the theme or topic area that you are hoping to investigate in your research project?

Examine the way in which painting on the sides of road affect the character of the place as well as the mood of person travelling on it.

Can you identify two or more questions that the research will help you go some way towards answering?

Can we use this medium for advertisement or for promoting social causes?

Will it give the needful information to the illiterates.

Can these paintings distract the driver and cause accident or fix drivers mood and prevent accident.

In this age when people are switching from road to metro how much attention will it get?

Is this a feasible way to create employment for the local artist

Will it help in keeping the streets clean and hygienic or will people forget the effort and still go ahead and dirty the paintings.

How similar is the art of truck and match box is to the art of painting on road

What sort of approaches will you employ to collect data for your research enquiry?  For example, if you were going to interview students – how many would you interview? What sorts of themes would you be questioning them about?

What is the purpose of your research? Why is it useful?

For years, we have been travelling to our destinations. Travelling is the major and the most boring part of our day to day life. It tires us and makes us less productive. If there is something as interesting as wall paintings in your way to work you will reach to work every day awed and fresh and ready to work inspired!

After my discussion with sumita ma'm i reframed the proposal into:

What is the theme or topic area that you are hoping to investigate in your research project?

What are the different way and uses for paintings on walls.

Can you identify two or more questions that the research will help you go some way towards answering?

What are the different ways of traditional wall paintings?

What are the different ways walls can be used in advertising?

How have wall paintings been used in cultures other than India?

What are the different known effects of wall paintings?
