Tuesday 13th November

The way that we need to know when working in groups:

• Identity what peoples strengths are
• Make sure everyone has a job
• Make sure everyone is included and knows whats happening

This information was given to us at the start of the day to make sure that we all know how to work in groups properly, especially myself as I haven’t done group work before I started on this course; it is scary for me, and I have grown in this area. I find it hard due to past experiences, however through working in retail I have grown in this aspect that has helped me on this course more so at the moment.

Useful things to do:

• Create a WhatsApp so you can update each other
• Decide who is going to work on what
• Conduct research as a group and share your learning
• Write down in a couple of sentence what you are doing (like a thesis)

I have copied these points from the board as I thought it would be useful to look back on at a later date.

We needed to have these 5 things created by the time the day finished:

• Five page PDF Presentation
• 15 different images from 15 different artists ( 7 artists have to be from Bauhaus)
• 5 different drawings
• two mood boards
• an presentation which shows the above and a mission statement.

I created the powerpoint, mind map and one of the mood boards.

I wanted to create the presentation as I feel like I am a good listening, and because I know how to touch type, I can type really quickly, and it makes sense with barely any mistakes. so I felt I was able to record the conversation. I like doing mood boards as its more digital artistic work, it wasn’t as good as I wanted to be due to the time limit, and still trying to figure out our idea and it also wasn’t using my own photographs which might have been a lot easier.

Our idea is all about meditation and relaxation. It also using a lot of contrast. The way the contrast works is the combination of loud and soft. People come in and get a glow stick, this glow stick will need to go on their body (this is so I can take the photographs of the happening to create a mini booklet of the event), they will be doing other breathing and stretching exercises. I will be taking photographs of the event using shutter speeds to create interesting images, and then editing on photoshop in different ways, this will also help with my portfolio. At the end, people will find a balloon, and inside the balloon, will be a quote by Bauhaus, and the sound of the balloon creates a contrast of the relaxation environment that just took place. The way I am interpreting the reason for our group choosing meditation because it provides an escape from life, we are able to sit in peace with no distractions, trying to calm our inner minds. This is a stressful time for everyone, and being in group work may not have been up everyone’s street, so it allows all the negativity and the stress to leave our bodies. It also allows us to capture artwork using the happening. I am quite excited to see how this happening goes, as the days goes on we will have more of an idea of everything.

This is the powerpoint presentation. I have taken the photographs from my phone as I can’t copy and paste images into it. There was a layout of the presentation which I will include as well:
