After the October break...

Firstly, apologies for this being so late I have been crazy busy!


3D WORKSHOP
SO, in Alison's class we are still perfecting and casting our apertures which is quite a lengthy process so it is ongoing week after week....

IM MAKIN' A BUS 

PDP
In Paul's class we spent a lot of time looking at pathways and our future, all very exciting and scary. He gave us a project that involves LOTS of research into each of the three main pathways and then all that comes under these pathways.

MULTIPLES (EWAN)
I decided to head home after Paul's class as the resources (photoshop) is VERY limited at college and I wanted to dedicate more time to my project than the class/resources would allow seeing as I have photoshop at home...
Here is one (gotta keep the rest secret) image that I have worked on recently...

Can you see Scots Monument?

I'm not sure why but this is my favourite photo so far....

VIDEO SKILLS

So Kyle had us film some footage from around the college in order for us to edit to make a film using FINAL CUT as it is a more advance type of movie making software. Honestly I found this WAAAY more complicated but the result so far are much better than Movie Maker..although sadly I am going to have to stick with movie maker as NO WAY can I afford Final Cut...

Still proper enjoying this class, I WANT TO MAKE MORE MOVIEEEEES (but I am really busy)

Basically I'm now done with my learning from that week as my head is killing me AGAIN (has been for a few weeks now) so adiós!

BONJOUR.

So today I had a 'chat' about my proposal for my Multiples brief and basically - ITS SHITE.

I was led to believe that my pathway could be Applied Art Practice, Visual Communication or Contemporary Art Practice therefore I had chosen to do Visual Communication as it involves graphics, photography, illustration etc but today I found out that I have to choose ONE pathway.... such as photography.... but that limits me?! So I am currently very very VERY VERY very very confused about both my theme and my pathway. Ultimately I give the fuck up this week and will start a fresh on Monday (maybe).

SOOOO if anyone has any guidance, advice, ideas or a solution I would greatly appreciate your help.

Bye bitches xoxox

NETWORKING

Creating a network.

Today we used the mind maps of the present such as our studies and personal life as well as our dreams and aspirations to create a network between us all. I discovered that there were so many different dreams and goals within the class yet so many links such as some wanting to study photography and film like myself as well as keeping fit and actually completing the course. It gave me an understanding of what my fellow class mates are capable of and what they wish to learn more about, which means that we can help one another – Catherine can sew, so if I fancied making a dress I could go to her, Robert studied photography, so if I required some advice I can go to him and so on. It also made me realise just how much more I want to get out of this course, I really did struggle to come up with words for my mind map until I seen the rest of them – which flooded my head with ideas.

Throughout this exercise I felt that the whole class were getting to know one another again, it was a case of “Who wants to do fashion?” “Oh, I didn’t know you want to do that, that’s fantastic” as well as unearthing several hidden talents, jobs and goals. I just hope this allows the lecturers to also understand what we all want to do. None of us are the same, especially as we are art students (the craziest, wackiest, most individual type of students) and that we don’t expect a workshop in each of our ‘areas of interest’ we merely expect help and guidance on how to find those who can dedicate time to teaching us new and more professional techniques.

Overall I hated the first part as I was lost for words (about MY OWN future – crazy) but when we made the connections I seen the positive in the exercise, possibly not the same as anyone else but I genuinely feel I have learned a lot more about my classmates and their hidden talents and that I would love to both give and receive advise from everyone throughout my course.
