Professional Practise- initial thoughts

My initial ideas towards this project are quite vague...ive never been able to decide on a particular path i want to take after university- in relation to an art career.

So this experimental work experience could help me greatly when deciding on a direction for my future..if i can just pick the right form of placement to begin with! I want to gain experience and hopefully some beneficial contacts from this module..so need to start research into possibilities as soon as.
As a starting point there are a list of references provided, that ive scanned through and so need to pin point the ones im most drawn to and begin a draft letter of request for placement.

I quite like the idea of splitting my placement hours, to get the most experience and widen my choices so that i have more careers to compare. I like the idea of working with a freelance designer or perhaps photographer and then also within an institution- maybe a big design company..graphic design being my other interest or advertising.

Another option ive always considered and had an interest in is teaching art, perhaps to younger children- but i want more opportunities from my placement so am thinking of encorporating my teaching desire to the collabrative group project, as Pippa has already suggested an art class for children. This way i can get an experience- if only brief, of working with children and see whether it would be something to consider/ look into in depth as a future career.
