1. Graffiti and the urban art world have always been something intriguing to me. I enjoy the act of "finding" the artwork, as it is placed in positions capable of being seen (as is the sole purpose), but are in spots where it might be difficult to view are usually in secluded areas off of highways, under bridges, or on buildings bordering a large road. I already have some previous experience and knowledge in this field, but would like to expand my knowledge of the subject matter by researching it more thoroughly in topics such as governmental conflict, freedom of speech, vandalism, artistic styles, the effects on the public, and the outside perspective on the artwork. I would also like to research more into what the urban artists have to say about their artwork.
2. Simplicity and minimalism have always been things I have been specifically interested in and have directly affected my artwork. I enjoy the wonderful use of negative space simplistic design and artwork creates. I would like to research this topic more to find out certain artists who use these techniques, the steps they take in determining the best way to go about using these techniques, the effect is has on the consumer/visual observer, and how it might have effected post-minimalist artwork.
3. Consumerism can be classified as the consumption the people of an economy have that makes them happy by purchasing products that benefit their economy. This also means that the consumers dictate the economic structure and inevitably the outcome of the consumer culture. This interests me because I am a consumer and everyone in the world is a consumer. Researching the effects consumerism has on art, advertisement, graphic design, and the world as a whole would be something interesting to me because of the fact that it directly affects me and my outlook of the world.

I like your ideas for the research, they're very interesting, and they show that you evidently have a great interest already, or some experience, in what you will be doing.
I personally think that maybe you should hone in specifically on a certain aspect of some of them. Say, like, what consumerism effects - maybe JUST art, OR advertisement in general, and not art AND advertisement AND graphic design AND the world as a whole. Those can be made into such very large categories of their own. Or, maybe you could find a way to better incorporate them all at the same time and still get a message across in the later projects.
Your research topics definitely show that you think about these things alot and I'm very sure you know the right places to go to do research on these topics so what i was going to advise is that you should maybe try and figure out a way to incorporate aspects of each of these ideas into one single project, because they all seem related and the aesthetic you could achieve by combining these research topics seems like it could be quite exciting.
I think exploring the idea of urban art and graffiti is the strongest research topic and will be a very interesting subject matter. Graffiti can be observed in so many different ways, depending on the viewers perspective.
your ideas are very interesting although you already sound proficient in each of them. i'm intrested in see ing how your research expands your knowledge and how it will reflect in your work.
