This term "core subjects" will be a day of doing personal work, most of the time. Several of us went down to the caf for a coffee and spent a good hour talking about exhibitions, sketchbooks, artists, what we did at New Year, how confused we are about the final project....
Timetables, forms, the inevitable to-do list....
My "inside outside in between" theme seems to be developing into safety vs danger, and the "tipping point" or threshold of moving from one to the other. Finding this book in the library was useful -
Not only did it have a variety of doors pictured portentously, it had renderings of mysterious atmospheres -
I filled a "research" worksheet by the end of the day -
The tutors were talking to individuals about how to fill in the "statement of intent" about their project for this term - the modus operandi is to be vague, to talk about "exploration" in terms like "previously I worked on ... and discovered that ...; I am therefore doing ... to extend this to ..." and make links to previous learning. A section that's difficult for people is "method of evaluation" - how will you know that what you set out to do is actually working? (Keep the words "appropriate visual language" in mind here...)
