Week Ending 12 September 2014 – Exploring Ideas

Description

The tutor has kindly issued a copy of the studio Practice module handbook. 

The Module handbook listed requirements includes:

·        A Personal Learning Plan

·        detailed time plan

The request for Forth Valley College’s Moodle website access was gratefully received. The calendar for the college can provided a template for the time plan.

Support Services

I received the Computer Laptop with Dragon computer programme and headset with microphone.  The   Completion of the speech recognition exercise has allowed word processing without any difficulties.

Thoughts and Feelings

The Dragon computer programme will be a welcome relief for writing PLP, mid module and statement of assessment.

I am exploring my thoughts on possible project ideas within a small sketchbook. Looking at Mind maps and inspirational Photography /colour images for a yearlong project for studio Practice.   

Some of the photographic images are included as an introduction to separate headings.   

At my tutor’s suggestion I have reviewed previous BAD projects to find a common thread throughout my artwork. 

Year	1st term	2nd Term	3rd Term
2nd Year	2nd Life	Multiplies	Childhood revisit
3rd Year	World Aids Day Competition brief - HIV, Alive and Well	2nd Brief theme “Emperor’s New Clothes”	Photo etching-Photographic imagery on textile and paper

 Another suggestion was to consider more than 1 brief idea that allow selection of the best one. 

EVALUATION

Exploring options widens:

 Develop creativity / explore possibilities / design journey / interpretation / playing with samples / develop representation work

Analysis

The blog entries were a requirement for the completed PDP module and also provided an excellent basis for analysis for the course unit.

·         Brief/PLP

·         mid module

·         statement of assessment

 

Conclusion

The direction of all of the above stages will allow wider consideration for the Studio Practice Project.

 

 

Action Plan

I will consider 3 or 4 ideas to present as possible briefs for the project. 

The sketchbook will explore ideas with a variety of visuals and art mediums. 

Initial research of each idea
