THOUGHTS

Thinking blankly about what I could write for my essay based on youth culture and began to brainstorm ideas to give myself some sort of starting point.
>GOOGLE YOUTH CULTURE


It showed that youth culture wasn't just something seen in our modern day, but has always been there, which made me realise that I didn't just have to do something based on what the current scene is.
I then remembered that the 1960s was rife for youth culture, with the birth of the mods and the rockers with such a rebellious 'we can do what we want' ethos. As well as previously studying this era at school, I'm also really interested in 1960s prints as I based my final piece last year on this style. So I think as a starting point this may work quite well together as an essay and in turn produce an illustrative piece that I can be passionate about.
