And the consistent blogging begins

So my plan is to update every week from now on, I'm trying to be more organised and consistent throughout all of my social media type accounts to give me at least some sort of online presence. I have started to update my instagram more regularly now and seem to be in a bit of a routine with it now.

Summer has been far more busy than I had anticipated. I've barely had a moment to myself since I started college, and even when I didn't have anything on - I still had to redo my room and gut out three years worth of crap.

However a couple of weeks ago I did help out at a summer school ran by my college. This was an amazing experience and has given me a great boost in my confidence in my abilities. It also helped me to fully establish that this type of work is something that I definitely want to do in the future.

I've also began doing some basic research into what I want to do for fourth year but this hasn't really fully taken off and I've just been doing bits and pieces (although I did buy a lever arch folder and dividers so I feel more prepared). I'm hoping to really get started with this over the next couple of weeks so I have more of a fully flourished idea of what I want to do by the time I start uni.

In terms of practical work I haven't done much, it's really only been a couple of drawings. One of which is a tattoo design I'm thinking about and another was mostly for fun/ am planning on trying out a cyanotype material piece with.

So that's all I have for the past few weeks,

Busy busy

So this week has been pretty hectic and busy and I haven't had as much time as I had hoped for to go on walks, although I did manage to get three done.

This week my focus has been on display and walks.

With display I looked a bit into how I would present objects in a collection type thing. 

The first walk I did was looking at following a route to have the images embedded into the map, I didn't get exactly what I was looking for however I still think it went okay.

The second was a walk specifically to look for found objects which I think worked better because I did manage to find so interesting pieces. 

We finished college early one day and so I took this opportunity to walk along the river at the back of the college as there is a public path down there. I think this walk was pretty successful as it was a nice day and so I felt that I got some really good photographs (although I might have got a bit carried away when taking photos of birds). I was also able to find a good range of objects and I even seen a bit of newspaper left in a way that that has given me some ideas for some of my next walks. 

My next plan carrying on from this is to take photographs of these in almost like a catalogue format, I also need to get an Argos catalogue or something for a bit of background research. 

My next one will be dérive inspired where I will write out instructions on where to go based on marks that I would see. 

So that's all I gots for you this week,

See you next week, 

Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee,
