The first term of my Masters is officially over as I handed in all six of my sketchbooks nearly two weeks ago now. After a much needed rest I thought I would reflect upon the term and give an idea of the progress I made during it. This project is a foundation to the course and its aim is to get drawing and perfecting aspects of the practice such as tone, line, perspective, shape and colour.
For my first ever project as a Cambridge School of Art student I’ll be completing the module ‘Observation and Experiment’ which involves very much what is stated in the title. For this we had to chose a theme to base lots of first hand, observational drawing around. I decided to focus this around my home town of Boston in Lincolnshire and hope to capture a sense of place through my images. This project is all about getting back into drawing from observation: something which by the end of my Ba I had been rather out of practice with!
This week I’m hoping to have completely re – designed my website complete with the work from BA6 (our last uni project) which is all very exciting. Progress in the things I have been doing have been hindered however as I have fallen ill. Despite this I’ve managed to upload my vidoes / experimental films from BA6 onto vimeo which are there for all to see. Once back at uni I may add a couple more as if I remember correctly I did have a couple of extra ones on a memory stick which I handed in and have left in Norwich…
