Evaluation

This project has had many ups and downs and I think if I did this project again I would have started it earlier and researched certain artists in more detail. I loved the ITC element of the course and that’s why I have used it in my final piece however I don’t think I have used it nearly as much as I should have done. I enjoyed how task like the sensory walk unlocked creativity in me and how it also highlighted Richard Long a artist that I would not have discovered if it wasn’t for the task set. I feel the topic that I chose says allot about me personally however I did learn allot more about ambition than I thought I would. Although I would do certain things differently if I did this project again I would defiantly do allot of things the same. This project has been fun yet also really educational.

My art project

I have decided to base my project in visual communication around ambition and how it is ever changing and always present in our lives. In Short my project is the transition of ambition. So for example when I was one years old all I wanted was attention from my mum and the rest of my family, when I was four years old all I wanted to be was a fire man like my hero fireman Sam, when I was eight years old all I wanted was to be a footballer like my ideal Fabrizio Ravanelli (he secretly still is my hero) and so on and so forth until present day were my ambition is to become a primary school teacher just like my mum. I have used a lot of family photos of myself in my project as a photograph captures reality and the camera never lies. What interesting is do we ever really move on from are ambitions? I don’t really still want to be a fireman but I still want a lot of attention from my family, I also kind of still want to be Fabrizio Ravanelli secretly.

Cant sleep thought I would leave a blog

The best day I ever had was when I was 9, I had annoyed my mum so my Nana took me out for the day on this boat that went round a river where im from. I was wearing my french 1998 football top that I always used to wear and after about half an hour of going past another random field with a few sheep in I started to complain. But my Nana just took me to one side bought me a coke and just sat and talked with me untill the boat ride finished. That was the best day of my entire life so far and I cant even remember if I ever even told my Nana about how much it ment to me.

All are architects of fate... living in these walls of time. So look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again, concentrate on the present and make it so beautiful its worth remembering.

1) Ricey- to modify a car in japanese style big body kits, big spoilers, bore exhausts, graphics, neons, etc..

"that cars well ricey"




2) Ricey- 1. person who enjoys the company of alcoholic beverages 2. also another name for alcohol

Person 1-"Who's that out of control drunk girl?" Person 2-"I'm not sure, she looks like a Ricey though. Better stay away." "Hey did you bring the rice for tonight?"

Popping my blog cherry

I chose to come to Swansea met uni because I knew I had relatives here and thought it would be a new experience going to a uni in Wales rather than going to local uni's like Newcastle or Teeside. I decided to do educational studies because I had grown up around a teacher (my mum is a deupty head) I really liked going into schools to help out and the placement week we did at uni before christmas was really benificial and i would certainly do it again............................. My site is Godfry's blog as i think it is a sterling middle name and not at all gay
