Exhibition Presentations ... Contextual

It was the second week of our Contextual Presentations. The groups had obviously benefited from being "the audience"  last week. The presentations were well researched and polished. I am now more worried about ours next week. We have not discussed our ideas together regularly and I feel we are lagging behind a little. One of our group was missing today but in spite of this, we made our artist choices and began to compose our text.

I had worked on my Book Making Assignment yesterday and handed in my images to Creations for printing. I am happy with the results although it is going to be a rather simple book. I had intended to add text, but as I am not particularly adept at using Photoshop, choosing my images, sizing them, organising them, took me most of the day. There isn't enough time to create something spectacular. On Thursday during the workshop, I will prepare as much of my book as possible. I can then write my evaluations and the assignment will be complete. The deadline is the 2nd of June. This is a 10 credit Module and it does not affect our end of year results.

The Complementary Studies module has been a worthwhile exercise; its good to learn new skills and try something different. I may not make any further books in the traditional sense, but I do love any kind of books. My intention is that I will create a few books to accompany any exhibitions that I may hold in the future. But I think these would be more inclined to be similar to "Sketch Books" as opposed to the Bound Book.

Yellow

I find yellow is a difficult colour to photograph. I can never seem to match the colour I'm seeing on the physical flower to that which I capture through my lens. One of the mysteries of life .... at least for now until I find out what it is that I'm not doing ....
