Walking and Cataloguing

So the main event that happened this week was that I went for a walk next to the River Carron near to my house. 

The point in this walk was to leave my mark in ogham behind by using the environment and things that I found. 

I also took photos of objects that were left behind, and also collected some of these objects. 

I have also began researching how to take photos that could be used in a catalogue and began experimenting by following some rules online.

I also finished off stuff for my research file and wrote out the results of my survey and added my maps.

I have also began looking at my mark and thought about doing a walk where I predesigned and made a mark to place along a route, so here is the setchbook pages I had with that.

I have also been thinking a lot about display and did a couple experiments in my sketchbook and have started collecting jars that I could maybe use. 

I have sorted put the things that I need for my drifting walk and the phrases printed from my survey to place and plan to do them this Wednesday and Thursday. 

So that's all I've got for you just now,

See you next week,

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Investigatory Walks Begin

Heyy, so this week I have began proper developments and we finally have a little bit more of an exciting blog post heres :D

This week I have done some more research into remembrance and other things, however this is me sort of at the end of the research stage so I'll only really be doing bits and pieces now and then.

So I went on my first Investigatory Walk to try and sort of get a taste for what sort of marks I could expect to find and also follow the banks of a burn to look into my Narcissus idea. What I have decided to do is to write reports on each walk and then publish them on here, so stay tuned for that :P

Here's how my "Instagram inspired kinda" photos turned out, I think this does sort of work well as a sort of piece however I don't think that I will be taking this idea much further as I am straying a bit further away from looking at social media:

However also in the same topic of social media I have started my Instagram account where I am going to be publishing photos of my work and also try and get them noticed by sticking to the "rules" of trying to get noticed online.

Another thing that I have done this week is start my survey in which I asked people how they wanted to be remembered, the reason for this is I had a plan to go on a walk leaving the answers behind although I am still planning on doing this, I am thinking of making this project a little more personal. 

Here's a link anyway if you want to answer it, I did find people's answers to be quite interesting:

 I've been thinking a bit more about how to display my work and thinking a bit more about my exhibition. After talking with my lecturer I am planning on looking a bit more into cataloguing and making my own catalogue of objects that I have found on my walks. So I think that will be the plan for the rest of the week.

Bonus Sketchbook page :P 

So that's all for now,

see you next time :)

Beginning Developments

So the weeks that I have dedicated to research are now over, however I still think I should have a bit more so I am planning on continuing with some research but put it a bit on the back burner but still keep it going. This week I am going to really concentrate on developing my ideas and going on walks this week as I have more time.

What I m planning on getting this week is a small sketch/notepad for me to do drawings of marks people have left behind when I'm on the go.

I've also started my image transfer marks so I'll let you know how they turn out next week. I'm also planning on starting my Instagram account for the marks that I make etc and try to get them noticed by following the advice and steps that I have in my research file.

So here's all the sketchbook pages that I've done this past week.

That's all I've got for you right now
See you next time
bbbyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
