Continuance paid off!

Onward:

(6)        

 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.
