Currently I'm on my Easter holidays - nearing the end of the first of two weeks away from college - and am mainly working on clearing a large backlog of sketchbook work which I accumulated while away on the 3 week exchange trip to Prague, Czech Republic that I was involved with in January. As everything has moved so quickly, and with things like university applications going ahead, this is the first real opportunity I've had to push through with all of it and get stuff finished off.
So far, I have:
- finished both CAD projects from this year
- written half of an extended evaluation for Fine Art (year 2)
- started to finish off my design sheets for Fine Art (year 2)
I'm also planning to:
- extend my 3D evaluation for Project 1 (before Pathway)
- finish my concept-related annotations for the same project
- annotate my Pathway work fully
- draw some designs for my FMP installation, to help recruit technicians to my cause and so that I can negotiate with Nolan for space
- write evaluations for both CAD projects
- and start my FMP research sketchbook for Art History.
Final Major Project
With regards to my Final Major Project, I have been to the Vintage Fair at Sutton Town Hall and photographed the various ceramic paraphernalia being sold there, and have revisited the ceramics collection at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery to make sure I have all the photos I need for my sketchbook.
I'm planning to visit Potclays in Brownhills soon, too - they sell clays, glazes and lustres, and all manner of other things relating to producing ceramics. I'm interested in using lustres, so I think the visit could be invaluable to me.
I have definitely decided to produce an installation for my exhibition piece, and hope to incorporate sound and video into it, as well as ceramics and found objects (mainly bottles). I'm planning to talk out some of my ideas with my parents - who both have degrees in Fine Art - so that I can start drawing up my spacial design plans; I have a lot of ideas that I want to incorporate but I need to figure out what would be most visually effective.
I'm working on finishing the annotation for all of my research so far, and printing out photos I've taken from exhibitions I have been to, etc. However most of my efforts are going towards my unfinished Pathway project sketchbook so that the backlog of work is cleared and I can continue on towards FMP with minimal worries.
I'm hoping to produce another video blog soon, too - this has stalled slightly, but I'm going to get back on track.
