Tutorials and Advice

​
This semester I had a variety of tutorials and obtained advice from lecturers,
 I met with-
I booked my three tutorials with the intention on talking to lecturers who would best cater advice to my focus with painting this semester. I had a session with Eddie Somerton, where we talked about birds and Yoga, and embracing on my madness. I then booked twice with Janice Atkin, where we spoke about painting and ended up mistaken for a 4th year student by the “maturity” of my work.  
Then as for my advisor meetings, I met twice at the start and middle of semester with my advisor from last term Mark Wallace, where we spoke more about my “quick” paintings and future possibilities with performance work. Paul Harrison was my advisor this semester and although I had met him last, I was still nervous on how my work would come across. In the end I was glad to have him as my advisor this semester, he confirmed that the way I was approaching these journal entries was ok.
I then asked to meet with Helen Gorill after her seminar, as I felt she was the best to go to advice for on the topic of my essay about the “representation of marginalised voices” and particularly autism in media. Helen helped me find the theories and confidence to write my essay, as I have always struggled with written work due to my fragmented-educational experiences.
Overall, from tutorials the outcome was an abundance of advice, which I incorporated mostly into my studio practice someway this semester.
 

​In general, the consensus was that my “quick” one-layer watercolour studies came across as most effective and some of my best work. There was plenty of advice and ideas on how I could expand my practice in the future, which I hope to do so during the summer and next academic year.
