Tate Modern

Following on from David's mention of micro blogs at various institutions: I thought again about Tate Modern

and found their own blog.  It is worth looking and you can even access research papers through the main site.

I was fascinated by the work of Daido Moriyama. He is a photographer and is still going strong at the age of 

73... There is hope for me yet!  Tate Modern

When you are filling out your UCAS forms you will be asked to enter the names and credit values of the units on this Access Qualification.

The names of the units are in the UCAS handbook, however I omitted the credit values. You will notice that the credit value of each unit on the course, as listed below, is different to those in your stage and course handbooks.

Outside In...

http://www.outsidein.org.uk

Hi :-) There is an Exhibition at Pallant House Gallery at the moment for Outsider Artists. 2,300 Pieces were submitted nationwide.150 pieces were selected to be in the exhibition. I was one of the fortunate few. I feel very humbled by it.
Outsider artists are people on the fringes and often the most  vulnerable in our society. The homeless, people in prisons, Psychiactric patients. This are people who through the adversity of their lives find an outlet through art, creating art. It is often a necessity that facilitates recovery and moving forward in ones life......

Check it out. It is on until the 3rd of Feb 13

 This is my piece...

for anyone interested in reducing the cost of visiting exhibitions have a look at http://www.museumsassociation.org/download?id=688625   the download is for the membership form and as students we can get annual membership for as little as 46.80 per year if you sign up for direct debit or 52.00 per year if not.
As a guide my entry to the pre-raphelite exhibition on Monday using my student card was 12.50 and whilst many exhibitions are free the specials are not!

also anyone wanting to meet up and visit galleries out of school time let me know, it is always more fun and more thought provoking to go with someone as we all see things so very differently.

Contextual and historical studies introductory study visit.

Sara Fanelli, Tate Artist Timeline

Hey folks, just a post to let you know that the timeline I was using last Friday to aid with our Modernist umbrella is now on MyUCA in the Contextual Studies folder [on the left hand side towards the bottom]. The timeline will give you some sense of the great period of technological, political and societal changes and flux that took place from 1750's - 1940's.

Also here is a link to the Tate Glossary I mentioned the other day. It provides a good overview of art terms, including -ism's.

Remember art and design is not made in a vacuum but is influenced from the world we inhabit.

The Jerwood Space

 this was done on a type writer, loads of little dots, loved it...

This is Grafite on card, that is my reflection at the bottom right...very cool....

 Can`t turn this round grrrrrr........

 This was an amazing projection :-) Didn`t catch the artists name..

Hi everyone, After David precluded that he thought the usual way I express myself through art was Drawing!! Oooeer, when I have had mainly a `hate` relationship with the concept of drawing full stop. I then felt inspired to go to the Jerwood Space that was holding a Drawing Competition. It was lovely, I felt at home there as soon as I walked in. Their was a young lady doing a presentation about her charcoal Animation. It was amazing, She was an award winner. Here are some pics of other pieces that caught my eye......
