Hello – it’s
been a while, but if I remember right no one reeds it anyway… it’s been busy
few weeks including half term. Most of my work as always was down to me,
researching, looking, making enquiries – gathering materials and meeting
people.
VISUAL STUDIES
My least
favourite subject this term. Not because I don’t like idea of a book, but
because I have no time to explore it to the core. As I mentioned before book
needs very deep research and lots of leg work, brain work etc. I always wanted
to write one, but not in such hurry. So, did made some progress, but it is very
little and very shallow in my opinion which I could only improve if this would
my only assignment.
I’m up to 1930,
past WWI and Russian Futurism, but as you know there is way much more to go and
progress is very slow and frightening.
I already come
to the terms, that I won’t get good mark for it, but there is nothing I can do
unless I would have poverty to change day into 36-hour slot.
STUDY SKILLS
No much to
report here, I did some entry about Public Liability insurance in my parallel
blog as it is very important part of our POP up SHOP experience.
We did find a
venue place and it is a requirement that we all hold one. I have one already –
if I trade as SUKI Gallery, so I’m going to use that to avoid extra unnecessary
costs, which also will help me to promote my business alongside with my uni
work.
FINE
ART
This
is where most of my time goes now. As we found the place where to POP up our
SHOP, there is deadline, which is 24th of March. It is in Uttoxeter Town
Hall – Indoor produce and craft fair.
So,
pressure is on and I’m barely started. I brought some wooden letters and
painted them – UNFINISHED – as our main Thame. It’s all good to add to our
sales table. I want to make some cards and bookmarks. I primed several canvases
and main one. I always find myself working on several pieces, multitasking, but
I can’t help it.
Spend
a lot on acrylics, different kind but more I use acrylics I understand I like oils
better. But all these projects are always so rushed and there is no way oils
will speed dry for me.
Some
pics of insides what I was doing and do. Will work from home this Thursday, as
really there is no point to go as all my work is at home or in gallery.
Hopefully I won’t get told off for bad attendance.
I do work on my projects - just at home.:)
It
is very hard still as I have no proper studio space. I must share my work with
my bedroom, but college not an option, as study we could have we can’t have and
rest is just awful spaces with no light whatsoever. So much for university, but
you must compensate close to home studies, with no appropriate facilities. That’s
why I work from home, its best for everyone.
