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

Bishops Art Prize what i am proposing - reflection & critical evaluation

Having not know what i was going to produce for the bishops art prize for most of this unit i am extremely happy with the outcome i have produce. I wanted to carry on developing my practise by exploring different casting styles which is exactly what i have done.  When i first brought the idea to the 3D workshop technicians they dismissed the possibilities of casting an organic form in concrete. Not wanting to fall at the first hurdle i began researching to see if anything like this has been done before with not much luck. After having further discussions with the technicians and drawing up possible options we came up with a process that seemed to be the most logical. At first i present the technicians with rather complicated plants to mould - this was a result of me not knowing the mould making process for silicone moulds and thus had to go back and get some organic material that was a lot easier suited to the casting process. Still not knowing for sure if the mould would work
