Bishops Art Prize - Research & Intention


I have been putting off recapping my notes for the Bishops Art Prize as i have been trying to focus on my degree piece. I wanted to understand and feel confident with what i was producing for the degree show before focusing on another project. In the past i have found that looking at other projects before full understanding the project i am currently working on results in me often leaving things unfinished or that the outcome isn't fully explored.

Recapping my notes was helped refresh my mind and help possible avenues for investigation to generate. The tings i have taken from my notes with the most prominence to me will be what i used to inform my sculpture. Mind map in research file (supporting documentation) -


  • desert - bleak wilderness, dry, sand, no sign of life
  • God gave water a purpose, yet it can break free and cause devastation - tsunami, floods
  • water is a necessity, yet it is a gift that is being possessed causing war as well as wealth - people profiting from it (morally wrong)
  • parting of the dead sea - deliverance of slavery, oppression and death
  • Moses striking rock to revile water
  • holy water - baptism, all religious praise water


Ideas prominent in sketch book -


  • freezing of water in a stone like matter - slowly melt
  • resin used as water 
  • tap flowing out sand - could this be made so it works 
  • frozen money
  • tap presented on rock
  • sand - creating a bleak exile
  • stone sculpture of something living - dehydration 

All ideas are developing and will likely evolve and change.

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...

Teacher training seminar - Notes and Reflection L012

A lot of what was said in this seminar was information i already knew but i thought that it would be best still to attended just in case they had any new information of if there maybe a different direction into teaching that i haven't come across. I kind of realised this seminar was more of a push to apply for teacher training through NORFOLK TEACHER TRAINING  CENTRE as they were the spokes people so they were trying to sell their company which then did make the seminar based solely around them. If i hadnt of been doing my own research before and knowing that there is other opinions for me out there then i guess it would persuade me to go with them. However knowing the knowledge i know i didn't really see myself wanting to sign up to this specifically. Getting into teaching through placement  Need to get a QTS but no necessary to get PGCE - QTS school based experience  was to get into teaching by looking at get into teaching - UCAS Helpful to get some school experi...
