Litcham School Residency - Evidence & Reflection (Part of LO6)


As a result of me missing out on the opportunity to take part in the big draw, i decided to email Litcham school to see if they have any other opportunities for me to possibly get involved in with. Sharon Adams replied saying i was welcome to come down for a day or two whenever i was free. This turned out to be the same time Louisa and Saskia were doing the big draw I was given the opportunity to sit in on the project as well as go into the art department in the afternoon and the following day. Not only did Miss Adams allow me to swap between classes whenever i desired i also was able to speak to the children and help with anything they needed. This was extremely rewarding and only fuelled my aspirations to research more into teaching. It was interesting to see how each child worked, and was nice to come back the day after and working with the same children again. I think teaching its extremely rewarding and if i can inspire children to be creative then there is nothing more rewarding than that; which is what i think i managed to do in some cases talking to the children.

Abramovic Case Study - Research & Evaluation

Performance artist Marina Abramovic adopts a territory where both audience and artist coincide throughout the entirety of her performance. Abramovic’s early career commenced during the 1970’s an era where performance art was ridiculed, only fuelling her aspirations to prove critics wrong. Abramovic’s rhythm series, which constitutes of five individual performances from 1973 to 1974, scrutinizes the tensions between abandonment and control. At the forefront of Abramovic’s rhythm series is Rhythm 10 (Abramovic, M. 1973). Rhythm 10 consisted of Abramovic recording herself stabbing between the fingers of her left hand with 10 knives, as fast as she could; changing knives every time she cut herself. When all knives were used Abramovic would rewind the tape and playing it back, she then began re-performing the actions to the rhythm of the tape. Abramovic wilfully or not, subjected her performance to a rhythm over which she had limited control. Abramovic claims each cut manifesting itse...

Gingko Tree Research

Evidence in Sketch Book After collecting all of my research together i have been extremely drawn to the plants resilience, only enhanced further by its ability to with stand a nuclear blast. From this the plant becoming a symbol of eradicating nuclear warfare and actually being presented as a 'Prize' to cities who become nuclear free. A plant having such a strong history and is very symbolic in multiple ways is something i'm extremely interested in exploring further. While investigating the ginkgo tree and seeing how this may become present in my artwork will be an on going process but i know i must not neglect other investigations - not to put all my eggs in one basket.  Research - Websites https://e360.yale.edu/features/peter_crane_history_of_ginkgo_earths_oldest_tree https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-29920359 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/8941542/Akihiro-Takahashi.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/04/opinion/the-whis...
