Selfie I've been lucky enough this week to have a holiday in the Lake District. It feels like something very normal at last. The first two days have been glorious weather, the kind that you can confidently NOT pack a waterproof. I needed to get out for walk. What I've learnt over the years, is …
Exercise 5.5: Create a slideshow
https://vimeo.com/455429947 Although I've not spent too much time on this and I've worked with what I had available, it's given me food for thought. I think I will present assignment five in this way. I will try to record some wave sound whilst I'm shooting the material but also spend some time searching for other …
Exercise 5.4: Online exhibitions
Looking at the land - Slideshow https://player.vimeo.com/video/49855891 Looking at the Land — 21st Century American Views from Andy Adams on Vimeo. Looking at the land is indeed an impressive slideshow. The images are from different photographers however they sit together really well. I think by presenting each slide in the same format helps to create coherence …
Exercise 5.3: Print-on-demand-mock-up
I have worked with Blurb before and as a first point of call, it's excellent, as it does a lot of the work for you. The issue I ran into in the past was paying for a PDF and then once I'd ordered the book found I wasn't happy with how it looked. This was …

Thoughts on progress and approaching assignments in the future
I've finally started the coursework for part five, probably about a month behind schedule but it's far from disastrous as I have plenty of time. Moving my work premises was more time and energy consuming than I'd anticipated. It seems that Assignment One "Beginnings and Endings" was strangely prophetic. A lot has happened in my …

Exercise 5.1: Origins of the White Cube
"The outside world must not come in, so windows are usually sealed off. Walls are painted white. The ceiling becomes the source of light . . . .The art is free, as the saying used to go,'to take on its own life.'" (O'Doherty, 1976) McEvilleys introduction focuses on the Gallery space as one suspended in time, shut off from the outside world. …
A sneaky trip to Holkham beach
As things stand, I have 3/6 assignments that are just about there and only need small modifications. I've had to step away from study for a few weeks as I've had to move my work premises. A lot of hard work and hoop-jumping, much of which I'd already done back in May/June when I returned …
Feedback on Assignment three
3.karen_jefferyDownload Very short post. Tutor was happy. Need to modify text pages. Need to reference relevant works within accompanying text. This is something I'm really bad at. I'm going to have a day reading other students texts and doing some research. It coincides with an exercise that's coming up on 'artist's statements'. Otherwise, hopefully an …
Assignment three – Spaces to Places, Tutor submission
Interpretation of the brief I explored The Naze back at Christmas when I was doing the first assignment. What struck me about the area was it's 'natural beauty' but also how it had been shaped by nature and humans alike. The cliffs themselves I find very beautiful especially the layers with the tree roots permeating …
