Tutorial with Ellie

My tutorial with Ellie was mostly focusing on the collaborative project as ive nothing much to discuss about my progress with work experience.

I was concerned about missing a few of the practioner talks, although it was unavoidable i would have liked to have gained some knowledge from the artists who presented their work. I suggested maybe contacting the ones ive missed to learn a little more about their practise but Ellie assured me that the talks would soon be available to view on moodle as they were recorded so i can take notes and view the talk without missing out.

As all members of our group havent yet completed all of our placements, including me we thought it would be wise to alter the content of our publication, so as to ensure we weren't left with little or no time to produce something. As we've already begun interviewing artists we decided to build up a collection of various practittioner interviews to gather different perspectives and information about various fields of study within artist careers.
Something which we can all participate in and add to as a collective piece to aid art and design graduates in the career decision making process.

The progress so far with my work placements is awaiting further events for me to join the photographers, Alison and Cliff Grainger- but im aware most will be after hand in although, as i said to Ellie im still keen to join them for the experience. I also need to confirm dates for me to spend time with the Graphic Designer Paul Warburton- ive emailed him recently and will follow up by the end of the week.

Another topic i wanted to discuss was the Professional Practise end of module presentation, as im worried about what content i need to include and what to discuss. But having objects/ images/ handouts and film to run alongside the presentation would make it more interesting..so am aiming to borrow some display pieces from Alison etc


I'll need to focus on discussing what ive learnt and gained from the experiences rather than what i actually did- which is documented in my blog. Also future opportunities, asperations...
