Week ONE (after Christmas duh)

So after all this time off I found it extremely difficult to wake up and function for the first day back at college. I eventually did.

PS got my grades for my Multiples brief and I got a 2A - a very good. Well pleased.


Wednesday morning began with our first integrated project class, which was all about the brief we had (kinda) already been handed out - Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? - the title of a painting by Paul Gauguin. I had a few ideas to begin with but when Dot went round the class and we got to hear everyone else's ideas it gave me so many more. However this overflow of ideas made it so much harder to get to grips with just the one.

Next up we had a whole two hour 'directed study' class, in which I carried out some more research into my integrated project brief but also lacked any sort of motivation due to the creative block from all the ideas I now had. Finally after lunch we had a lecturer again, Catherine for Creative Practice, in which we got our SECOND (Did not think we would have two) brief and it was Protest. We began by working as three teams and creating mind maps of things we could passionately protest about but this confused me and made me even more angry (due to the subject being mentioned).





Thursday began with feedback on our PDP folders from Paul which was an easy class and then we had 'directed study' again that afternoon.

Friday consisted of more research into our integrated project and then the final presentations in Davids class as well as those who had already performed had their feedback. I was told my presentation was good, I stumbled a bit and he thinks that is I was to condense my facts down the it would be fab! So not much to re-mediate in that area at least.

Over the weekend and the days we weren't at college I spent more time researching all my ideas and trying to get them down to at least two or three if not THE ONE. I used newspapers as part of my research for a change, as I was bored of web articles and I found this very beneficial as I found relevant and up to date articles on topics I had discussed for both briefs.
