Unit 1: Week 22: One-to-one Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting

I had another wonderful one-to-one tutorial with Michele Whiting. I find that one-to-one contact time with supervisors is where I get the most out of this course. It is fantastic to receive one-to-one feedback and advice that is tailored to me, my artwork and my research focus.  Overall feedback notes from tutorial discussion  I spentContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 22: One-to-one Tutorial with Dr Michele Whiting”

Unit 1: Week 19: Ideas after Asynchronous Seminar

The provocation “Artistic practice is inherently uncertain, the whole process being a kind of faltering journey from there being nothing to there being something.

Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure

BRIEF:  RESPONSE:  How did this experience challenge and/or shift your intentions for the work and your sense of knowing and control?  As an artist, I’m quite a planner, so this painting was quite uncomfortable for me. Even though I started it before Week 17, I started it with the intention of creating something entirely spontaneous,Continue reading “Unit 1: Week 17: Element of Chance and Taking a piece to Failure”

It is widelyContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 16: Practice: Artwork Resolution: The Enchantment of the Anthropocene”

These paintings, set here in order of when I started them/conceptualized them, represent a journey that I’ve gone on over the past few weeks.

Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait

I’ve finally finished my Fractured Salvador Dali painting. I didn’t love this process as much as the David Bowie, but I enjoyed trying out Ala-prima painting and liked how quickly I could get this one finished. What I learnt about before making this artwork:  What I learnt during the making:  What I learnt after completingContinue reading “Unit 1: Week 7: Artwork Conclusion: Salvador Dali Portrait”
