Easter update - Organisation and Preperation

On the last week before Easter I started taking photos for catalogue thing seeing as the college has better lighting in my house. I think some of them turned out quite well as I managed to get a decent angle with my tripod. I then began editing these to make them look better so that I could put them in a catalogue format.

I've also been trying to focus down what I want my exhibition looks like, and trying to think of if I want it to be museum like or a bit more clinical. I've pretty much decided that I want it to be more clinical so that I am more inviting people into my investigation and the can interact with the files etc.

Fist thing I wanted to get done over the Easter break was to get my pdp and essay stuff done so that i was free to focus my whole attention on my project for a week. Pdp took longer than I was expecting but I managed to get it done and I'm quite happy about it and I did manage to get my essay done but it was a bit grating but I pulled through and am still alive so there's that.

So my mind and my project have been a bit all over the place for the past few weeks. I haven't been on as many walks as I had hoped, mostly due to the fact that I have been so busy. The main achievement of this holiday was that I think I've got my head back in the right place, and I am now looking forward to really putting my teeth back into this project that I feel I have almost abandoned. There only like 6 more weeks left *ferociously holds back hyperventilating* but I think if I put my head down I can do it.

So what's left, what do I have to do in these six weeks?

1 - Walk.
Well I think I've got the walk idea down now. The main purpose for the walks will be to "swap" my mark for someone else's. So essentially for the next six weeks - do more of those.

2 - Buy furniature and stuff like that for my exhibition.
I think I've got what I want my exhibition to look like fully in my head - sort of like a clinical laboratory for people to explore. So I need to buy all that stuff, everyone wish Róisín's bank account the best of luck.

3 - Catalogue.
I want to have an online catalogue of all the items I have found available for people to view so I need to start making this. I do have some photos but I need to make sure they are all documented and then put online.

Well those are the main things at least, I'll still have other things to put in here and there and God knows I'll probably come up with some other idea that I'll need to do so there's that.

But that's all I've got for you just now,
until next time,

Update :D

So there's not much to say here cause it feels like I've not been to college in ages.

Over reading week I had the plan to finish up my presentation, complete my mini-portfolio stuff for Edinburgh uni and write my PLP, and in  stunning turn of events I actually stuck to my plan. Horray!! Pop open the champagne and unleash the confetti!

I finished up my presentation pretty early and I quite like how it looks and I now have plenty of time for practise so I'm happy with how that's worked out.

I submitted my mini-portfolio last night, I mean I'm not all that hopeful that I'll get in but I did put in effort to the images I submitted so maybe there is some small slim chance, who knows.

And with the PLP I'm sort of happy with how it's going, this isn't the final one yet so I think it'll be a little more refined by the time I need to submit it. I'll be talking to my mentor soon so I think I'll be a bit happier after that.

So that's all I really have for now
Hopefully my next post will be a little more interesting :P

Just a Quickie

So this is just a quick update on what I've been doing the past few days.

I haven't had much of a chance to do any quote unquote "real" work as this is just the research stage, for a pretty big thing I might add so I am going to be taking my time and thinking it through. As you can see I've been posting a lot of my "Inspiration of the Week" and all of these are going to be included in my artist research sketchbook. So as of now I'm just taking what these artists have done on board and I have also been brainstorming a few ideas as well. So this time next week I'll have a PLP and a (hopefully) formulated idea to talk about.

In other news I've finished my presentation for my contextual studies class and I am quite happy with how it's turned out, now just a few practise runs to see if I can fit all those words in there :P

Here's a quick preview:

Another thing that I've been working on is my submission of mini portfolio for Edinburgh university, this isn't so much a hard process, but it is definitely long and tedious at times, but I am getting there.

So that's all for now,
Until next time,
byyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
