i dealt it with the actual theme (rather than concept)
to make this easier, i'll use mine as an example...
my majorwork was about the relationship between 2 people:
1. Father (who was also parent, God, authority and creative artist)
2. Daughter (who was also child, Adam, minority and artwork)
it dealt with postmodernism etc
my subject matter was basically the relationship I had with my Dad, which later extended to all these other roles, as I later developed my majorwork during the year.
postmodernism is the dismantling/questioning of dominant discourses, values, and such. THE SUBJECT MATTER was that I wanted to add in the fact that when you do this, ie apply postmodern thought in real life, it is MUCH more delicate than it is portrayed to be. the kick of a line I wrote in my reflection statement may have been the fact that I celebrated postmodernism, but said "to demonstrate that the complex battle against authoprity and the injusticies of patriarchy involves not only the dismantling of accepted paradigms, but also the changing of CULTURAAL TRADITIONS which needs to be delicatley respected. Compromise within a domestic sphere involves a density of emotion, time and patience" and i kinda backed this up by showing where I did this in my majorwork....
So that was subject matter, very briefy... It doesnt really have to be as weird/complicated/wanky as that... it just means that you have to show some personal learning about a theme, which might not tie in with english...
i hope that's right
I got E4 though!
