As part of my active investigations for ASP I have decided it will be beneficial to keep an investigation journal, a blog seems like an efficient way to do this.
(first entry which I wrote back at the start of the year)-----
Investigation Proposal: The Golden Age of Illustration and its continued influence
The key impetus for my ASP project was being introduced to the works of Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, two leading artists in what is now known as the Golden Age of Illustration. (13th May: since then I have discovered Rackham is actually a Victorian artist)This was not a movement but
A wonderful example of Arthur Rackham's illustrative skill (The Old Woman in the Wood, from The Grimm’s Fairy Tales)
My investigation will focus on (many) artists of the period who are relevant to my illustration project as well as researching the circumstances bring it about, the techniques used and any related art movements. As well as researching the historical events I would also like to look into artists today who are influenced by and employ the same (or similar) illustrative styles today. I have found someone on Deviantart and will contact them to try and get an interview(13th May: again, probably considered a Victorian style of illustration)

a period of unprecedented excellence in book and magazine illustration. It developed from advances in technology permitting accurate and inexpensive reproduction of art, combined with a voracious public demand for new graphic arthttp://www.artcyclopedia.com/history/golden-age.html
