As the title suggests this is the beginning of the end, for this BA degree anyway. So naturally I am nervous about my ideas for this project as they have been playing on my mind for well over a year now, as the deadline was looming from the get go.
Over time my ideas have changed, which was to be expected... as I tried my hand at different aspects of art and design to get to grips with my strongest areas. I've concluded, finally that photography is going to be a big part of my final project, along with my previous knowledge of floristry. As I have yet to see anyone do anything with flowers and such like as a final piece, I think it will be a refreshing insight into what is classed as 'art and design'.
So this week has been encouraging, as I have spent the week refining my Personal Learning Plan so it is of a high enough standard for the external examiners to get a good idea of my intentions for the next few months. I had been nerous that the idea I had had over the Christmas break was not going to be good enough, but that seems not to be the case - WOOHOO!
Before I talk anymore about what has been going on I will explain my idea... it draws on my interest in photography, whilst utulising what I learned when I worked in my aunties florist. The whole idea will be based on 'The Language of Flowers' as I attempt to give my audience a better understanding of the real meaning behind a particular flower. I want my project to highlight how little we think about flowers, especially when they are a gift.. basically would you know what to send someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer? probably not completely as there are a lot of misconceptions as to what a flower means, a yellow rose means friendship and a red means mad love... a stark contrast.
I hope this post has given a good insight into my plans for the next few months, I will keep up to date throughout, possibly even starting a vlog as a means of recording my progress.
