Abandoned Blog

I, as well as others, have abandoned our blogs accidentally. I'm really focused on the sketchbooks at the moment and I find that I keep forgetting about the blog. It's annoying because I was really getting into it. Just a little update on my sketchbooks;

Fine Art
Still working on this mostly at home. I've decided to use mix media (photos and paint). I feel much better about it than I did last year. I'm not sure what my final piece will be yet though.


Extended Specialist Techniques
The ideas never stop. I am really far forward with this unit. Like last year, it is my favourite unit. I have a lot of ideas for a final piece but I'm finalising it this week hopefully.


Narrative Image Making
I've put this unit behind a bit this month because I realised we have until January for it. I'll probably pick it up again this week though. I've been stuck a bit due to printing credit shortages so that has also not helped.


Location Photography
Again, printing credit problems. I feel ok about this unit though, but I feel that I need some class time to focus on it more (DFO is hard to break away from sometimes). I have a sort of idea of what I want my final piece to be, but it involves photoshop so I'm not sure how well it will turn out. I've been told to speak to Kirsty's boyfriend though as he can give me a quick lesson on it if need be.


Drawing from Observation
Currently really enjoying this unit. I love the matchboxes. Life drawing starts this week- really excited for it. I've never done it before but I'm looking forward to it because I know it will be a challenge. Also, it will help me if I go on to do a fine art course or whatever next year.


Surface Pattern
This unit is lacking at the moment. I just keep getting stuck. I understand what I have to do but it's just difficult for me to get past one point at the moment. Also, printing credit again is an issue for this.


I'm stressing out about a few things at the moment- UCAS, printing stuff, the units, this blog, stuff within the class, and personal problems. It's not to the point of last year, and it wont get to that point, but I just feel like I'm the only one kind of behind on the units.
