Ten; artefact diary 2



Hello, 

As I said in my previous blog I have been struggling to make progress on my artefact; not for lack of ideas but for wanting it to be perfect when I complete it and I don’t feel like I’m working effectively enough for it to be perfect yet. 

I’ve been working on the sides! The sides represent key moments that have either influenced or benchmarked my life as a performer / lover of performance through the medium of collage. The collage will consist of pictures of key shows that impacted my journey (Mary Poppins being the first show I ever saw, Urinetown being my drama school grad show etc - I will post the full list of contents in another blog) the collage also has sheet music of key songs that have been involved in my journey; such as the song that got me accepted into the ICMT as well as the first song I ever sang. Although the quotes are yet to be finalised (I will be writing a blog on my quote ideas and why) I will also have quotes on this part of the guitar. 

I explored placing these photos/pictures in a specific order however I came to the conclusion that I’d rather have them all mixed within each other as that’s how I feel about these memories; I don’t view these moments in a neat chronological order I view them as a mixture of moments that equal who I am today and who I continue to be. This is also why I chose a collage; it represents me - messy but beautiful and full of meaning (hopefully ahhaha).

The collage isn’t stuck down yet as I’m waiting for the pva glue to arrive but here are the pictures of my exploration of placement:

Fourteen - module two let’s go

 Hi,  So we finished module one and got our grades. As I am a total perfectionist I’m not as happy as I wanted to be with my grade but I was informed that I did very well and I’m too hard on myself so I’m trying out into perspective my view of myself and not hold myself at an unattainable standard.  So now onto module two. The reading of the module handbook is well underway but I can’t say it’s making me feel any more in the know yet; to put it simply I feel confused and overwhelmed with what I have to achieve in the next month or so… but we just have to take it one day at a time I guess.  To prevent myself from getting too worried I decided to focus on what i can do right now - I made a huge mind map of ideas for topics to develop further and how they connect with each other. I tried to differentiate between ‘bigger picture’ topics and the more individual ones. I like the ideas I’m forming but nervous that when it comes to fitting them in with what’s needed to pass ...

Thirteen; artefact diary 4

 Hello,  it’s only been a minute but I’m here to upload the next stage of my guitar! I’m so so close to finishing it and it’s beginning to (in my humble opinion) look pretty good. The part I’m talking about in this blog is the sides and the neck. I’ve already spoken about this partly but the sides are a collage that represent my most influential moments in my creative life. It includes shows that have deep meaning to me, sheet music of songs that I have sung for big life changing events as well as photos of moments I consider influential to me. The neck consists of a collage of said sheet music as well as some quotes that inspire me to be my best and to never stop creating. I have handwritten the quotes before placing them on my guitar as it feels much more personal. The last piece I’ve added at this stage is a handwritten note from my nana about my passion in performing. My relationship I have with her is close to my heart as well as a huge influence for me as a performer so ...

Two; a trail of thoughts

So time for entry number 2! If I’m honest I planned to do this post a few days ago and to be posting another today but my life seems to only keep getting busier and time has gotten away from me, but here I am now! As I’d planned for more than one blog so far I think I’m going to take the opportunity I have now while I’m writing this blog to collate my thoughts and write one longer post.  So where to start. I’d like to round of my thoughts by talking about the module handbook. I definitely need to have another read (and probably never stop reading it) to keep my ideas coming and fully understand what it is I am doing or heading to do; that being said I have quite a lot of annotations so far and although the lenses of thought are tricky at times they’re already opening my mind to new ways of thinking about my practice that I may not have yet.  An example of this would be the theories of different types of learning. While I am aware of the ways in which we learn I had never consi...
