• Read the course handbook

Module 5 is the most important module this year.

• Make, make, make 

Every week we will be going through the academic writing and how to frame our piece of writing. To make it easier link it to what we are looking at within Module 5.

A second lockdown is still possible. If this happens everything will:

• Shift to online learning
• It won't affect our hand in days 
• To help get ready for this possibility we were asked to get some kind of space ready at home
• Support will be available at anytime 
• I will need to get a rick assessment made up for my project

Timetable

• Crits are going to be held each Tuesday 
• We will be split into two groups in order to abide by the new rules due to covid 19
• We are being asked to join a different specialism to expand our project and work
• Video editing will become available after Christmas 
• In order to be inside the university building we have to book out the room we wish to be in each week
• Mondays are when the majority of students will be in the building so try to avoid going in on that day.
• Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays are when most students aren't in so this is something that should be taken advantage by us 

Extended Critical Review

• What I want to talk about
• (Aesthetics) This is important to talk about within my writing 
• Formal qualities (line, shape, materials, techniques)

Aesthetics of the east and wests photographic works (Evans example)

• Start Module 1 as soon as possible to make it easier for staff to look through 
• (4500 - 5500)
• Illustrate the written piece 
• Relationship between abstract photography and freedom?
• Why does photography allow me to express my thoughts?
• Why does abstraction in photography express my intentions better that any other medium?
• What is the relationship between my abstract photography and freedom?

Module 2 

My practical work is the most important this year

• Think less and make more
