Group tutorial and an inspirational lecture

So this morning, bright and early I had a group tutorial with one of the lecturers, Heather. The small group of 4 students took turns to update Heather on where we were up to with our portfolio and seminar presentations. I felt quite confident with my portfolio work, my two sketchbooks are both nearly full of a load of ideas. However I wanted guidance on the next step for my portfolio work because at the moment I feel like I'm being too broad and I need to narrow it down and start to have a more clearly defined goal. Heather told me as much too. So her advice was I need to do some reflection on my work and look at what I've been doing and where I want to go next.  So what I might do is write a short brief for myself, a few sentences, put that in my sketch book and work from that.

Not being able to use studio space due to BA timetabling. We had Friday allocated to us, not great if you are working or unable to attend on Fridays. Not being offered to share demonstrations of how things work in the stud...

Half Term

Image
So this week its half term for schools and I've taken the week off from teaching all my fitness classes so I can concentrate on my MA and really make a dent in printing and sewing my designs for the final fashion show. Deadline is 4th July - 5 weeks today! Below are some pictures of some of the prints done and trousers made. I'm in early today to try and fit my trousers, hopefully to me. Last week I started on my MA report which we have to write as part of the course, 2500 words on our MA experience related back to our personal statement. Right, time to go, just got to drink my coffee first!
