Mind Mapping:

What is a mind map? In my opinion, its organisation of your thoughts, its a visual brainstorm, a road map, it allows you to free up your mind, and analyse your ideas.
Creator of the Mind Map, Tony Buzan, describes a mind map as a thinking tool that reflects externally what goes on in your head.

A mind map needs to be colourful, interesting and  clearly mapped out. This makes it easier to track your thoughts and ideas and develop on them.

• Why do I want to study art?
• World of possibilities
• Like I have several branches of possibilities with art
• Like arms?
• Hindu Goddess Dura (18 arms)
• Strong, invincible, a warrior 
• -> like my dreams, ambitions & hopes about art
• I become like Durga
• ->Anything is possible & I'm open to the many branches, extensions, & opportunities that could arise from my study of art.

               meaning "the inaccessible" or "the invincible", is a popular fierce form of                            the Hindu Goddess. She is depicted with multiple arms, carrying various weapons and riding a ferosious lion or tiger.
