Updated on 25 March 2017 (Harvard referencing).
17 February 2017. In order not to confuse myself and fellow students following my blog I will shortly summarize here the changes I will need to be making to my coursework and blog to fit assessment requirements.
Minor changes to the whole blog:
- All my posts will be updated with referencing corrected to fit the Harvard system.
- Study visits in the area of Salzburg are planned between now and assessment cut-off in May. Reports to be added.
Major reworking of Part 5 of the course:
- The sequence of posts will be rearranged to fit the sequence of projects and exercises in the study guide. This means that I will take parts from my assignment posts covering exercise work, copy them into the separate exercise posts and supplement them with additional exercises, some of which already exist but I had not considered worth posting in the light of my (failed) approach to Part 5 and some of which I will work on in the weeks to come.
- The additional exercise work I will hopefully be doing in a larger sketchbook better suited for using paint (given I can buy one), and only there, as my tutor pointed out that otherwise exercise work may be unsuitable for assessors to be inspected within the given timeframe. My annotations I will try and make consistent throughout and more legible.
- Exercises will not be done with a goal in mind, but playfully without intentions other than observing, accompanied by ample written-down analysis for personal gain in developing my project on shadows.
- Additional artist research will be published in separate posts and slightly different regarding the conclusions made, with a main focus on information for my personal development.
- The above exercises and research completed I will go over my assignment posts again and update them accordingly with the new information.
This is the plan and I will be needing to put up reminder signs in my workshop in order not to fall back into old habits. The changes I hope to be able to complete while starting to work on my next course, Understanding Painting Media (Lacher-Bryk, 2017).
