Week Ending 6 February 2015 – Saga of the part timer


Studio Practice 2

Weakness - The Saga of the part timer returns

 The submission of the pdf formatted Revised PLP encountered difficulties.
I received e-mail notification that the  Revised PLP submission required a filename.  This PLP filename instruction was notified to full time  course colleagues but unfortunately not to the part time student.
Evaluation

Yet again this issue raised with tutor.  As a solution I was instructed to submit an e-mail to all the Studio Practice 2 tutors to include me in their system. 
 
Action Plan

This e-mail has been submitted and I have asked class colleagues to forward any communication they receive. 

Strength of Studio Practice 2 Research
A timely reminder not to sweat the small stuff and focus on the aims of the project. 
I was reminded of the bigger scheme of things by the media report highlighting dementia care .  
This website provided an opportunity to access information.  In particular, Barbara  story. 

This opportunity to gain insight to a person’s experience with memory loss is motivation for the project.    

Further internet research of  Artlink Central  resources provided additional website links. http://artlinkcentral.org/seasoned-resources
Business Card

The business card arrangements are underway with my fellow student colleague. After the holiday week and the London trip  we will have a  meeting to discuss ideas.

Studio Practice 2 - Development
Inspired by cobweb felting Sample led to development with photography. 

 

SWOT - Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats

Feelings
Layers of textiles with cobweb felt. Decipher the photograph story in the context of memory loss.  Cobwebs of memory loss concelled a sense of place and self.
Visual photography creates a visual story familiar to the viewer.  A viewer connects between similar family photographs. 
I will continue with developlopment as a possible project solution.

Studio Practice 2
Development - Photo Montage
 
Photo Montage -Child

Photo Montage - Baby

Development - Photomontage
Feelings

A unique story with universal themes of memory and identity.  Ghosts of memories lost catch in photographic images. 
Evaluation

The A3 sized photographic image will isolate the image will be a metaphor for the isolation of memory loss.  The focus of the negative space filled with ghost images will be the celebration of catching those lost memories. 
Analysis

The photomontage creates the confusion of memory loss to give an insight to carers and our society.  The focus of the negative space with layers of smaller photographic imagery catching a memory is a celebration of communication.  The communication of a memory brings their sense of self and place to the person with memory loss and as an individual identity.  The positivity of communication will help with the care of the person with memory loss.  By seeing a person we can communicate with we can have open discussion about memory loss. 
Action Plan

Develop  Baby, Child, Adult Photomontages
