The first semester is beginning to feel a little more settled. We have two more students who joined us last week so our group is now 7, a good size to have a diversity of specialism and opinions!
Last week we had our seminar on research methodologies which I actually found interesting! I am beginning to understand the benefit’s of doing all this research, at last the penny has dropped! I’m looking forward to discovering something which will influence my working practice, I’m sure. The draft proposals are in and awaiting feed back next week for both the research and study skills essay and the practical work.
Next on my to do list, I need to find some galleries and get out there looking at “Art”, I feel a little suffocated having not done any practical work for over a month let alone “experience” any kind of art, other than in books and theory. The anticipation of starting this semesters project is building…like I’m champing at the bit, ready to get going.
This week has been a difficult time for me as I have been suffering from what I think was a mysterious virus, which meant I was absent from University on Monday and missed my first tutorial with Ruth, I was looking forward to discussing my ideas for the impending essay and getting feed back from the rough draft, perhaps when I go in tomorrow I can catch up with her.
Tomorrow also holds in store our induction into the metal/ wood and 3D workshop areas in the morning, great, then I can start using them to begin my project. “Alleluia”
