Finally! I feel as tho I can start to explore my multiples theme in more detail. I managed to get my head around what I was doing with thanks to Euan. I have way to many ideas so I decided to stick to the ones I kept going back to. 

That Friday feeling... 

Friday felt a long day and I just wanted to go home. Although the classes on Friday were fun in Catherine's and kyles class. But my super hero homework for Friday slipped my mind and I forgot.. So I created a quick drawing that morning and it was horrendous! 

Week 3 sculpture

On Wednesday, we had a workshop on creating a clay structure. After watching the demonstration from Alison, we had to design our own shape and begin the process. Wood and wire mesh was used to build up the base structure - this is called an armature. 

I worked in my sketchbook by researching artists that has created multiple pieces of artwork - this is mainly for inspiration and ideas. At this present moment, I am still unsure what my theme is in relation to my brief 'multiples'. I am going to carry out further research of various ideas and group all my photographs together by title to help me do this.

Week 2 - organising the route!

This week was very much similar to the first week. I felt I had much more of an idea to what I'm doing and where to go. I looked at street maps online and created mind maps of various possibilities to focus on. Also I had to have some kind if organisation before I went to gathered information in Edinburgh, I looked at train times so I could arrive promptly at the station.  

Arrived in Edinburgh...

After speaking to our lecturer, we stayed as a group and began to collect images relating to the theme multiples. I was still slightly unsure of what I will focus in so I decided to take images of multiples every where. I came to a quick decision that I would have to decide when I got home  (by looking through my photographs) what to focus on more specifically...

first week back

This is my first ever blog - i have no clue what to include in it and or if its correct. Here goes....
Week 1 - First week back at college was better than expected! I have been introduced to new lecturers and new ways of learning. It was good to see everybody again! :D Having one brief to focus on all the way up to Christmas was quite surprising. This could be a good thing as i would have more time to concentrate on the one brief instead of multiple or a bad thing if i get bored of it - Time will tell. The name of the brief is on multiples and the theme has to based around the city of Edinburgh. We began by researching what the term multiple meant. At first i was confused but after further research i developed a clearer understanding of what it meant. I have various ideas to base my theme on in Edinburgh but wont know exactly what to focus on until get there.
