Shelter Project

We have been given a project to last 4 weeks with the theme of 'Shelter'. When going through this idea as a group and creating a spider diagram of different words we connect or could be to do with Shelter, a lot came out. From the literal sense of a Bus Shelter to an emotion sense of how we as people may Shelter ourselves.
This project already has got me stuck for ideas, and has not inspired me.

Today when having a group tutorial and asked what ideas I had come up with, I found myself really struggling.

How do I start a Project?

I am always thinking of ideas which often leads to too many ideas and I find myself putting pressure on myself.

When discussing this I found that ideas gradually started to come easier, and given the idea of Reflective (is it for a reason?) and Reflexive (just doing it), which one was I?

For the theme of Shelter, the idea I think i have invested in as a starting point is my room, the idea of being alone, I quite enjoy and having personal barriers up. This could maybe be what Shelter is to me. I want to carry on with the style of work I enjoy, which is linear style drawings and illustrations.
