Rayograms and The Two Jacks

Continuing my thoughts for "time".  I've ditched the dandelion clock idea.  I think Enzo thought I was a bit mad when I explained my thoughts.  Well he may be right.  I'm now developing another idea, if it works, I'll fill you in next week.  Back to the drawing board.

On tuesday we were creating a photogram.  We arranged objects on  a photocopier using symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial compositions.We  used black and white and selected the invert option before pressing copy.  The results were interesting.  I have also been researching some artists work using the different compositions which I have included in my sketchbook.

Still cropping my images in photoshop.  Class was shorter this week,  so due to my snail like pace, I din't get much done.

Our contextual studies tutor David arrived this week.  I really enjoyed the class.  We were given loads of in depth information regarding "The age of popular culture" and "The tale of two Jacks", Jack Kirby and Jack Vettriano, Two very different Jacks.  After the presentation we had a group discussion on the topics highlighted by David.  I enjoyed listening to the varied opinions concerning the subjects.  It's good to look at things from other viewpoints.

We did a mindmap and looked at optimal learning in PDP skills this week.  I noted the CREAM strategies for future reference.  Creative, Reflective,Effectively organised,Active, Motivated.

College heating was turned on this week.  PHEW!  too hot.
