Task 1 – Look at the modes of enquiry questions, specifically 4-6 and reflect on the answers.
I feel so unsure in my practice and at the moment I think my answers give me more questions instead of answers. I do not know whether I want to go into the industry or back into the food. The last few days I have then questioned whether I should do something with food in this project, however I love art and illustration because it is different to that, and it is a separate part of me, and I am unsure if I would want to mix that, but may be worth exploring.
Task 2 – Answer the following questions
Field of study: How will the project communicate your critical / industrial intent or direction?
Brief: What is the problem you are aiming to solve or communicate? Aims and
Objectives: What do you hope to achieve by the end of this project?
I am unsure on the questions above however that answers this question, I want to be able to situate myself within a practice. I want to have an idea, or ambition of where I want to go. Of course it won’t be perfect, but I want to be able to have a clearer thought, so in the future if I was answering the previous form again I would be able to answer those questions a lot easier and quicker.
Task 3 – Look at UAL Careers and Employability and look at the opportunities
It may not help for this task, however the idea of being mentored by a professional in industry actually fascinates me, and I believe that could be an incredible opportunity to grow.
Having an exhibition is the university is something I have looked into in the past and I have applied, however wasn’t accepted. I would really love to be able to put on an exhibition at the university or at a gallery and be able to promote my work to the world.
Task 4 – Use other websites to look at opportunities
Maybe because of the current time, there is only a couple of opportunities on the website for illustrators, and it was more geared towards graphic design, and honestly they didn’t fit me. Especially as it was more about website building, social media, and it’s not something I am strong enough at the apply for, as well as it isn’t something I enjoy.
Task 5 – Who would you like to work for, where would you like your work to be seen?
At this point in time 19/04/20 I want to see where my project goes first, and see what interests me before approaching or thinking about this, because I come to a bit of a dead end at the moment, and the instinct isn’t there. Once I have developed my project a little further, I will come back to this task and task 6 and complete at that point.
