I have been asked to research 'Ritual and Ceremony' and think about what it means to me. This week we have been given the second part of the brief. And this is to make an object that could form a part of my own personal intimate ceremony. I've got lots of ideas. Watch this space for developments!
There have been a few additional members to my course from places such as Belfast, Stoke and Worcestershire. We had to introduce ourselves and talk about our work and it was fascinating to hear about their areas of interest such as Surrealisism and theatre make up. Next week we will have to talk about what rituals and ceremony means to us.
Just come to the end of the first week back at college. A very busy week with lots and lots of workshop inductions! I was very pleased that we also managed to fit in tutorials with our tutors and I feel very excited and motivated following the positive feedback that I received from them. Looking forward to next week!
First day back at college! We were given our brief for the next module. This module is divided up in to three parts. Part 1. is called "An Intimate Ceremony" and we have been asked to research into ritual and ceremony. Part 2. arrives next week. Part 3. is to write a proposal for the work that I am going to submit for the BA (Hons).
I am really excited about this module and am looking forward to what I might discover about rituals/ceremonies Plus I'm also very excited about the future development of my own studio practice.
I am planning to use my regular blog entries as a reflective sort of diary. I think it will prove to be very useful.
I attended a lecture last night by Professor Allen Fisher of the Manchester Metropolitan University about the 'Poetry of Objects'. I found it fascinating how change in perspective of collections of objects can affect ones perception of them and how these objects can become a contemplative or meditative piece of work. I will certainly find these thoughts useful when I next look at my own work.
