It’s hard to believe that it is already the end of
the first term, and with it, the hand-in deadline looming. I’ve learnt quite a
bit this term. I’ve gained a deeper understanding of my practice and have
related it to some current artists. I’ve understood that I’m starting out
professionally, and that means taking small but definite steps. I’ve documented
all this in my 2000 word critical evaluation, but here are a few more informal thoughts.
Learning
points:
- I need to manage my time and energy a bit better. The project plan worked well, but my contingency got eaten up by various unwanted life events (and, truth be told, a couple of “morning afters” that lasted all day). This sometimes meant I was having to work when I really didn’t have the energy/wherewithal.
- I need to understand a bit more about how blogger works as I seem to keep getting formatting and line breaks where I haven’t put any.
- I need to read more journals and articles, not just books and websites.
- I need to do a bit more artist research – but that will come naturally, if past experience is anything to go by.
- I need to not be afraid to draw, even if what I draw is cr*p.
Highlights:
- Joining a supportive cohort of like-minded people and making new friends. Thank you, everyone!
- Getting back into the college library and finding out I can borrow 25 books at once.
- Getting my Linder article published on FCK LDN’s website.
What next?
Christmas, my birthday, then back to College to do some printing and laser cutting!
