My Senior Project

I looked over past Senior Projects that were related in some way to my concentration. All of them were research papers and for the most part all were done quite well. I still have no real concrete idea as to what I want to do for my project but I was going through their papers I had the realization that Japanese life and culture can't really be experienced through a paper. I want to do my prjoect on some aspect of Japan and the Japanese culture but there are too many ideas at this point and I need to narrow the field. I have been leaning towards doing some type of presentation on manga, Japanese Comics, as an artform. In America there tends to be an idea that comics are for children and in no way could be considered art but in Japan manga is accepted, read and renouned by a large portion of the population. This has been the idea that has been coming to the forefront of my mind the most but I am a bit hesitant to take it up. Since manga is paper based it easily lends itself to be done as a paper and while I still have more time at my disposal I want to explore around and try to come up with a more creative means of presenting this idea or to come up with something all round better and more creative. Basically what I am trying to say is that I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for this project.
