It doesn't look bad, but once he started talking I was dying. Yes, I always try to be a good student and look like I am paying attention but half of this stuff doesn't apply to me because I am not going to get a job over here after I graduate from College. Maybe I will but I have no idea. I wrote about 10 pages of notes I think. lol. I just getting all the information I could from him and the information he was giving us. They are completely vague how what they give us. I am starting to miss my ten page syllabus and all my projects from my photography and art history teachers. I miss them all! Too much freedom can really hurt your thinking process and not enough structure as well. I never knew I needed that much structure. I hope I get used to this. I just wish they had more art stores around with the supplies I need.
Okay, back onto the Enterprise and Employability lecture. It was crazy. He talked for about hour and 15 minutes on about different jobs and such then starts going over projects we have to do. Of course, we go over the time and get twenty minute lunch...all the good food is gone so I get apple juice and trail mix plus a bag of crisp. lol. The next session is from 1:30 to 3:30 yeah. it was short man, it felt like 10 hours!!!! Went over after graduating, cv's(resumes), artist statements, website, and the other projects. I still have no clue what I am going to do. I thinking about emailing photographers to see if I can shadow them at their studio to see how they run their business but I don't know how to proceed with that. I might have to ask the tutor but I don't know. I asked him if I missed a day for a trip to amsterdam next month and he didn't even care about... just turn in my work a day early. It is weird. It is cool that they are so relaxed over here. ;D
Now here is a list of the projects:
1. PROJECT 1: Individual Project: Students will identify at least one opportunity to
make a full application for and/or to take part in by the end of the Professional
Studies module.
Students will hand in a copy of their full application or a written report on the
opportunity outcome: Friday 16 December.
2. PROJECT 2: Group Project: Students will work together to create a year-group
website. This could be developed over the next two semesters into a vehicle for
the 3rd year show. (This can only be carried out if there are students with website
creation skills.) Site should be up and running or a written report on the outcome
by Friday 16 December.
3. Project 3: Group Project: Students will research funding possibilities for their 3rd
year final show and/or end of 2nd year student created show. A group report will
be handed in at the end of term, with sections by each group member: Friday 16
December.
so have to get those done soon. I swear writing an artist statement is hard. i was trying to start mine and stuff...I am completely stuck. I have no idea what really my work means who influences me and what style i go for. i just have to try and figure that out soon. It is due my the end of the month. I think I can get everything done.
Now, I am trying to get stuff for my essay done which is annoying. I am changing the image because once i saw this image Banksy did I fell in love...i am trying to upload it right now but it isn't working. i don't like flickr over here. lol. Basically it is a painter painting a portrait. On the canvas, the nude looks realistic and the model sitting in the chair for the painting is abstract like a Picasso or Braque piece. I love it so much. I didn't really like cubism and Picasso work during that time as much as other people do. I know I am probably weird.
isn't it grrreat!
Well, it is almost midnight here and I think I should totally head to bed. Gotta wake up at 8am to get to the studio then walk to asda to pick up the prints. :D I am really excited to see what they turned out like.
Love,
Marianna
