back to work!

After a bit of a rough start to a brief I received a few weeks ago about multiples, and a week off.  I can finally say that I have settled on a concept to drive my answer to this project...PHEW!

                           The Scott Monument in Edinburgh, climbed alone and with friends!

For me, this makes everything else much easier (and fun).  I get to come up with a  beautiful kind of visual answer on the subject.

This photo which I took at The Real Mary Kings Close became quite useful in developing a concept.  

I'm at the development stage in my sketchbook, having already filled quite a few pages with research materials focusing on the city of Edinburgh, all I have to do now is figure out to show it to people!

Back to blogging...

Hello.  

This is my blog, where I will be doing a lot of talking about my art and design degree and the classes I'm doing in my second year.  

Tonight, and my first post might I add, I will be mainly be talking about my PDP class and the things we've been up to this morning.  

We all had to create a network map of our future plans and things we had already succeeded at, in doing so I discovered that that I'm actually more focused than I thought. It now seems apparent that I have clear goals and know what I need to do to achieve them.  
I have already managed to get about half the way through my degree which is great but I've still got a long way to go.  

 *Here's my network

In the future there are so many things to be done and even in the short term there is a multitude of things I need to make sure happen.  I plan on getting even better results for all my classes this year and creating some really beautiful  highly finished pieces.  I would also love to produce works with a solid concept at the heart of them, so this means, for me anyway, making the most of classes like critical and contextual studies in particular.  

Once we all had our maps out we stuck them next to each other, on the wall and using string connected them together by finding common ideas between the individual networks.

 Our connections created a fine string mesh
