ACTION PLAN

It’s been a week full of action. We all had our targets set. Some fellow course mates unhappy, some not coming in. I’m content. My only problem is TIME. As set for adventure I also now run a full-time art and craft Gallery in Tutbury. Brave, but sometimes you had to take chance when is coming, as there is never right time for taking risks.

So, from now on I am full time student, full time mum and full-time business owner. CRAZY life.

Above you can see a small draft I made to sort of simplify the tasks I need to complete by end of April, not even taking account that Gallery life also is under the pressure and my poor kids have only Sunday with me. TIME for myself, well I can simply forget about that.

VISUAL STUDIES

Book ~ representing timeline of modern art 1900 till present day. With images, political, social, economic impact of my industry – FINE ART.

 Like the idea, also a book seems to me suitable format to capture this - PROBLEM software available only in college, so there is some pressure involved how to make a book in reasonable time scale.

I will start gathering materials next week after first lecture and see how hard is the InDesign to work with.

STUDY SKILLS

This time easiest brief, I would say. There has to be 3 success story’s research done, where one of them will have to be presented to the audience. 10min.

My draft thoughts lean to mention Leonardo da Vinci as man and in my opinion most successful painter of all times and times to come.

Pablo Picasso – someone who live long successful life just recently.

Tim Bengel who is very popular right now as he has developed a unique style of painting by using two uncommon materials for the craft – sand and gold.

These are just draft ideas and I need to run it past our course leader.

Also, alongside of it I need to make different blog to cover all legalisations and guidelines of my industry, which is sort of learning curve and is essential to know.

With these tasks sort of not so much time consuming, comes the main one ~

FINE ART

POP UP SHOP ~ think, create, find the place, get it in to open. I am talking about our artworks.

The worst scenario we have to work together, which is good if you share same passions or ideas.

Our group is very different and everyone is individual. Majority are portrait artists, it’s not bad but you need to be truly unique to make a people buy a portrait. We need create something what could sell. As really aim of this is our success.

I’m thinking to work together with textiles fashion design and we have one jewellery girl. I already spoke with fashion girls and sure we could come up with something.

The theme is UNFINISHED and I love it.

…. just a first ideas. Hopefully by next week it would be something more substantial.

ILLUSTRATION

NO ILLUSTRATION – it is written work. Case study of our work, progress and success setting up the pop up shop. Not necessary that, but I think for me will be easier to go along with what I’m doing and writing it down.

As long is not illustration I’m happy. This sort of work is aimed to begin sometimes next month when I will have more clearer view of what we will be doing.

Wish me luck!
