The purpose of this assignment was to draw on all the learning experience from the course so far in order to develop a self directed project based on one of three themes so that the theory and learning can be better understood through experience.
Key words from the brief:
- Opportunity to express something of your own personal interests and developing visual language
- Three theme options:
- A place
- Imagination
- The Word
- Develop your methods and processes of generating ideas, concepts and images
-
Use your chosen theme to investigate your own visual, material and technical interests to make artwork that has some relevance and significance to you
-
Write a page of text (about 250 words) reflecting on the assignment,
My working process
This was the first self-directed assignment on the course so far and I needed to create a framework for myself to work within.
I decided to use the working process that I defined in 5.3 What’s your working process.
The outputs of the assignment were organised into these different phases and can be accessed from the links below:
Planning the work
The brief specified the amount of effort required to make the project as 90-hours of learning time, or around 10 working days with another two days dedicated to initial research and subsequent written reflection.
