I have now attended the third session of my business start up course. Investigating different routes for my career once I graduate. It has been a real eye opener looking at the application process for Arts Council Grants. We have had a talk by a local gallery owner who helped us consider how to best promote ourselves and gave us a valuable insight into what galleries are looking for when artists approach them.
Trying to make my final decisions regarding colour composition for my banners. I find colour such a mine field. The more I explore – the more complicated it gets. I think I should just stick to my gut reaction and go with what I think looks right. Anyway, I've got to decide by the end of this next week because the work is due to go off to the printers. My next challenge is to begin my painting which relates to the banners. Never a dull moment!
Looking for different venues at which to display my printed banners. Proving quite tricky because full length of work measures 4 metres long. Also logistics of fixing proves quite a hurdle as far as 'Health and Safety' is concerned. But hey ho! that's life and I'm sure that I will find a way round it!!!!!!!
Started working on the colour composition of my banners. I am using photoshop as an aid to my process but wish I had attended more of the photoshop workshops!!!
Yesterday I attended the first of 4 sessions of a Start Up Bussiness Course run by our council (Creative Industries). It was very interesting and useful. We talked about the importance of promoting ourselves, networking and how to approach different organisations for funding.
Now that my images are now scanned I am eager to start adding colour.
