Feeling a bit Overwhelmed

So after our trip to Edinburgh everyone seems to have all these great ideas, but haven't got a clue what I'm going to do. Every time I look at my sketchbook I just get more confused than when I started with it, I've done all the pages that seem quite random, disjointed and almost pointless. Probably because there isn't a point to them. I'm hoping that next week once we hand in our PLP's I'll be able to get a better grip on things.
The actual week it's self hasn't been too bad. On Wednesday we started our armatures for our casting process, mines doesn't really seem like much at the minute but I'm hoping that as the process goes on I'll be able to create something that I'm happy with. It was quite enjoyable getting to actually make something though, using wood, scrunched up paper and chicken wire. I think it helped me get a few things off my mind, just talking about different things with everyone but nothing to serious. In the afternoon we continued with our sketchbook work so I disappeared off to the library in the vain hope of being inspired. It didn't really happen.
Thursday was quite good we watch watch a creative documentary about a guy who filmed only inside a lift for a few weeks, it was really interesting and gave me a few ideas that maybe I'd like to create a video for this project. Video/Film is something I've always liked the idea of but never really had the chance to explore as much as I would've liked, so maybe this is my chance? Later I was researching artists who's work is based on Edinburgh and whilst I found a fair few I didm;t find anything that jumped out at me, nothing that I thought "I want to do that " so I think instead of looking only at artist whose work relates to this project. I'm going to just look at artists who inspire and look at why they inspire rather how I can use there influence in my work, as that way I should find a pattern and hopefully that pattern will help me find my pathway.
Friday we did some printing in the morning: printing is something that I've always enjoyed and it's been quite fun learning new techniques in this class. The afternoon was quite different from our usually lectures. We worked as a focus group as to design Scotland's new superhero? It was a strange task to undertake but it was quite fun, possible controversial after the Independence vote the day before, it was really intriguing to hear everyone's ideas on what Scottish-ness is and how it should be portrayed. I quickly realised that I did a lot of 'typical Scottish' things that the others didn't which was strange.
