Monday…
The first day of the MA in Fine Art, I started the day by organising a space in our allocated area of the Art studios, I claimed my spot by sticking a couple of ink sketches on the wall and finding a desk to work from, small steps in establishing myself in my new environment.
My fellow students and I met Ruth who will be guiding our studies through the Advanced Research and Study Skills this semester and all the theoretical studies on the course. I hope we didn’t look too much like rabbits caught in the headlights!
I thought we were all a bit quiet , well completely understandable at this early stage and probably not unusual.With the task set to write our proposals for our study topic for the end of next week, its off we go to think about what we’re interested in.Something you would have thought at this stage of study would be an easy choice to make, not , it seems for me! I am struggling with the suggestions I have written in my interview proposal and I know feel they’re not going to be as relevant to my practice as I once thought. With that in mind I am going to have a brain storming session at the weekend with Paul (my husband) and see where I can identify area’s specifically of interest and value to my practice studies. Right now I’m veering towards the effect primitive art has had on Modern Art…a far too large and general subject…but, drilling it down to fit my working practice will open pathways through to an area of relevance.
