Big Idea's

Identity: It's who we are and what we associate our life with. No one can quite pinpoint it exactly, making it so special. Identity is a word that should not be tossed around lightly. It can separate us from who we are not and associate us with what we are...or think we are. Identity is not something you are born with. It is rather something learned and discovered. This is why identity is such and interesting topic. Each person's identity is different from the next because of what they have experienced through living.

Meaning: We are constantly searching for meaning on both a big scale as well as a small scale. Whether it be the meaning on why we are here, or the meaning of a dictionary definition. I can tie the word meaning into identity because both of the terms are a "process." As life continues, we understand more meaning behind things and what is actually important. The term meaning can stand for so much and can be brought out of just about everything we do.

Fear: A perceived threat. However, there is something very interesting behind what we perceive as fear and what we don't. Everyone has different fears, but for a reason. It's our natural reaction to a basic survival instinct. We are blessed with the ability to recognize danger and react to it. This is known as our fear and would be very interesting to express through art.
