Recap on the course so far...

(I have terrible memory so these records may be a little on the muddled side, sorry! :])

Week 1:

Monday - First Lecture [PDP/study skills], we ere introduced to the learner charter and the rights and responsibilities we had as a student.
              - Second Lecture [Drawing], we were given our first brief 'draw this box'. the brief was a one day brief an was incredibly vague and thus i imagined we were meant to think outside the 'box' and give our own interpretation of what the box, in our head was. i drew a brain inside the  with a rainbow of colours spilling out from the top of the lid. this was to show i tough the box was my brain and all the potential ideas it holds.

Tuesday - First Lecture [3D/ sculpture] we were introduced to he 3D/ craft room and told about all the potential tings we could be doing within the workshop.Allison also showed us a slideshow about various 3D designers along with some of her own work which was rater interesting, especially seeing the way 3D designers draw a the way Allison thinks ad approaches even a line.
             - Second Lecture [Creative Concepts] this lecture was by far the most unusual, we were told to adopt a fruit... yep a fruit, keep a diary for the fruit and take pictures with it etc as if it was our own. i thought it was such a wacky idea, maybe edging on the side of absurd. however Dot -our lecturer- ensured us it was worthwhile. we also got the first part of or brief, to research all aspects of fruits eg. fruit in art to the mythical qualities of fruit. so that's what we did.

Friday - First Lecture [Contextual Studies] We were given a lecture on 'The Two Jacks' -Jack Kirby and Jack Vettriano- it was largely about how Jack Kirby was relativity unknown even though he was the creator of the biggest known comics of all time - MARVEL. The part on Jack Vettriano was ow his art is unpopular to those who are 'educated' in art. and how his works appeal to the consumers who don't really have ay knowledge in art. 
             - Second Lecture [2D Design] The lecturer -Dee- went over the handbook or module brief, which was transformation. apart fro that she let us work away on our ideas for the brief.

Week Summary:  In my own time i contemplated what way i should tackle the 'Transformation' brief. I finally came to the conclusion that since i drastically changes since i was little ( wen i was in the 'closet' and ow when i came 'out') so this pathway will be highly personal and thus will be unique and tell a 'story' of this important segment of my life. For the Fruit brief i decided to adopt a Grapefruit. He's called Gino, he's from Italy. Yes i do realize how crazy this all sounds, but i love it!
