Today we were given a talk on sketchbook use, and how to fill them efficiently and successfully. Some of the information proved very useful, and I will definitely be taking it into account - I was pleasantly surprised to discover that personal work was also allowed in the sketchbook as well as course-related research. This will help me ensure that my work stays up to date and give me some room to explore and show off my personal work.
After that, everyone who didn't get the chance to present previously did so today. As before, I enjoyed seeing into everyone's different interests and learning a bit about pathways I had no experience of, such as fashion.
Next, Annette talked to the class about getting the most out of an exhibition as possible and analysing it successfully, which can be difficult for the inexperienced. I tend to form very strong judgments of exhibitions, so the advice pertaining to asking others for their opinons was helpful; I am often too close-minded about art and should spend more time discussing my thoughts with others in order to form a more well-rounded opinion.
Finally we did an exercise in which we observed groups of objects on a table and wrote down as much as we could remember after they were covered again. I feel I did reasonably well, but more importantly took away the lesson that it is important to make notes while you are looking at an exhibition or piece, since as time passes details begin to fade from your mind.
