Since starting this course I have been relishing the thought of getting to grips with a conceptual art work. Now that we have the opportunity to not only create a piece of work but also write an essay on conceptual art, I have been making mind maps and jotting down things that come into my head when I think of our title ‘Nation’.
I’m thinking about moving away from flat art work as in working on paper or canvas and moving towards installation work and possibly performance. The ability to express oneself is something that needs to be explored.
The more I work with different media and materials the more flexible I become when it comes to developing ideas. I tend to think a lot more open mindedly about where my work could go especially when I know it is going to be a conceptual piece.
Now that we have received the deadlines regarding our contextual, conceptual and developmental drawing projects I have been able to days and times when and where I can work on each one. The college library has provided me with a selection of books that I am working my way through when I am at home. Mondays and Fridays in our studio spaces are a great opportunity to get some practical work done as well as taking time to update my blog.
I am determined to keep on track when it comes to time keeping and deadlines. Also, group crits have been enjoyable so far! They outline my strengths and weaknesses when presenting my work. Sometimes I tend to drift off in presentations and go off on wild tangents. This is probably due to my enthusiasm and lack of planning talks.
P.S. I will probably be posting to my tumblr page more often from now since most of my classmates are on there. Here is the link below!
