Dante's Divine Comedy and Inferno

My research into Dante's Divine Comedy and Inferno has been very interesting and I am definitely being 'inspired' by this for my work.

Creating a creative object as a creative response.

Our first assessment piece for this unit is for the internal students a creative collaboration, but as I am external my creative piece will not be worked on collaboratively.  I really need to start thinking about the direction I want my creative piece to take.

My piece should be influenced by the readings and lectures of the philosophers Plato, Nietzsche, Dante and Kant.  It may take the form of a sculpture, painting, drawing, installation, music, architecture design, text as art, or a combination of those, so in other words I pretty much have free rein on what I would like to create.

So I suppose my first decision needs to be which philosopher and theme to base my creative piece on.  The major themes to look at are Plato - "Art as functional object", Nietzsche "The Superman", Dante "The Inferno" or Kant "The Sublime".  I am really leaning towards Dante's Inferno right now, but it does concern me a little that the lectures on this don't occur until week 5 and the assessment is due at the end of week 6!
So if I do go with Dante then it will be purely on my own research alone until then.
