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


Traditional art of painting on wall in Varanasi.

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?
Any other way wall paintings can be used?
What is the material used for wall paintings?

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?

Read more books about it to understand the topic better
Interview local artist
Interview people travelling everyday on that way
Interview tourist
Interview authorities who got it done
