I was certainly enjoying the challenge in Susan`s class. The choices may not have always been the right ones as far as the theme for my module work but I didn`t slacken in enthusiasm!
Module 3 for me was a tough one - as I mentioned previously I went with the title of `Significant Form` and what was significant to me was not the exact interpretation from the list which included:
Night at the Opera.
Scratch the Surface.
Medea.
Road to nowhere.
Against the rules.
Stanley Spencer.
I considered `Against the Rules`, but decided I could make more of Significant Form.
The work outcome was mainly abstract and I enjoyed this aspect - change is always an adventure! I had been previously painting portraits of both people and animals.
This is some exploratory work - then I did a transposition of Cezanne`s Mont Sainte-Victoire which pleased me more. So much to learn from looking back over old sketch-books, you must try it.
The fourth module was another list of compelling titles from the tutor; Yin Yang, Off The Beaten Track, Eagle Eye, were some and the artist Artemisia Gentileschi. I went with my first gut reaction and that was Yin Yang.
There was much more sculptural work to my interpretations on this one - I really enjoyed it.
When I was told by my college tutor during the start of my B.A. that I needed to work 3D in a tutorial class, this was the start of my self realisation that I was definitely a sculptor. How did she know ?
What chink of this quality was showing ?
Final word for this blog - DO NOT underestimate your tutors knowledge - listen to the positives and focus.
