BLOG Introduction : Friday 5th November – 10am -10.45am in the Lecture Theatre
You are asked to set up a blog following the Blog introduction. The blog project is for studio and theory entries.
Email your blog address to the Course Administrator by Friday 12th November so we are able to review the blogs in progress over the term.
Blogs allow you to write informally, recording your progress, ideas and thoughts. These might include reflections on gallery and museum visits –study tasks set, your ongoing studio project progress, images of your drawings/your collection/your sketchbook, links to relevant research material and inspiration that give your POP-UP collection context e.g. a visit to the museum of Childhood if you’re looking at toys etc... The blog allows your peers to see what you are interested in and what you’re working on. In the studio context, you view each other’s work on a regular basis but the blog is useful for written work too. When you begin to research for your essay, you will be asked to upload initial thoughts/ideas for your essay topic and object/image analysis work which you’ll be doing in the Spring term.
BLOG INTERIM REVIEW – Your blog will be reviewed and you’ll have a review session as a group at the start of January in the Spring Term. Date to be confirmed but please have all your blog study tasks and additional reflective work up to date by then.
