Monday 1st October

Before we started the day, our teacher went over information about assessment and how it is going to work and also about learner planners. I found this information extremely useful, and it made me realise how I have to make sure everything is ready for Monday incase my assessment is on Monday.

Today is the first day of 3DCP. The project for the morning is called ‘All Your Birthdays Rolled Into One: Concept Memory’. From the powerpoint: memories can be able to go into the key words or Zeitgeist, Personal Narrative, Shared Event, Collective Consciousness and Trauma. We are going to be able to go through 2D/3D media, being able to work in groups and create some installation and photographic work.

This was a picture that was put onto the board, I found it really interesting because it was an approach using a Venn diagram about understanding and not understanding.

The activity is to try and recall birthday presents that I have received , during my life – using words on A1 piece of paper. This might be a bit difficult for me as my birthday is 3 days after Christmas, so although I get birthday presents, most of my presents I get for Christmas, and I get more for Christmas than my birthday by far, and Christmas overpowers my birthday, so I remember my Christmas presents over my birthday presents.

Some artists: Tracey Emin, Peter Davis , Kate Morass.

This was my approach, I am going to be redoing this because I feel like I can achieve this so much better, which I will upload onto the blog after I have created it.

The photograph below was the one I done in class:

Afterwards, I had to removed all the white of the background. I am really not sure what that meant until I got explained through it. It seems very confusing, but as my piece is technically 3 in 1, I am unsure how I am supposed to do it.

We had to remove the white area, and try and make the page very stringy. The photographs below show what I have done:

I am not sure whether I like these, I am going to add in my sketchbook which is other work I have done, another one odfthese but just the writing in a Graphic Design format because as I want to go into that section, I feel like combining my work to make it more what I would like to do in the future.
