First Week back!

Well starting this week off, I haven't slept much so having to get up at 9am on Wednesday I was like a little zombie. Wednesday was a good day mostly filled with information and we didn't start doing much, we got our brief (the Edinburgh one) and discussed our other classes.
Thursday wasn't much different just starting research for the Edinburgh brief. However on Thursday mornings we have a new class, a video class which seems really interesting so hopefully that'll be good. The afternoon was more research
Friday in the morning we have painting which I think I'm really going to enjoy, haven't had a chance to paint as much as I would've liked so it'll be good to get back into the habit. In the afternoon we have contextual studies again and we are looking at knowledge and power, not sure what we're going to do with that but it seems like it'll be interesting.
I hoping that this year goes better than last year, I want to try my best and make sure that I speak up when I don't know what I'm doing.

New final piece

As I had to re-do my final piece for pathways, I decided to take it in a different direction. I wanted to create a piece that looked like a doctors chart or a patient file. I made 12 different sheets that represented my journey to accepting my Dad's illness. I made thought was that their is 12 months in a year, although he was diagnosed in 2009, I was going to do 14 or 15 as that was the age I was when he was first getting tested.

I made several different sheets to show my journey from my Father's diagnosis till now.

Transformation New Final Piece

So, as I had to re-do my final piece for Transformation I decided that I didn't want to change it up too much as I didn't want it to look completely different to the rest of my work. So I decided to create 3 smaller collages (A4) to show the transformation, change from a more natural Britain to the industrial revolution to present day. I preferred having 3 separate pieces as I feel it was easier to show what I wanted and it was easier to represent the changes I've been researching.

Also I'm happy with how the colours blend together but show the progression, it starts off mostly bus and greens then to greys and browns then to more black.

Results - Doom's Day

So today I got my results, and they both were and weren't what I expected. I've failed two of the modules (Pathways and Transformation). I've go in and re-do some work on them, but I'm going to use this set back as a way of building myself up so that I can improve.

Working, working, working!

Been busy this week creating prints and stencils for my new final piece! I'm really happy with how it's coming along, I love the bright colours. The only thing is I need to make sure all the colours actually represent something and aren't just here for the sake of it.
