The first step in the MA has been to produce a Pecha Kucha presentation to be able to clearly and concisely explain to the supervisor what plans you have and be able to discuss ideas for clarity prior to making the proposal for the FMP. Simple idea and a worthwhile exercise.
The project I planned to work on would have a maritime theme about shipwrecks and wrecking. After the presentation, through the following discussion, some elements were removed to bring more focus and cohesiveness to the planned project. The original idea was too broad may be the grounds for two or three projects.
Colonialism was raised by CP and this aspect is one element that will add to the project that I had failed to include. An example book provided was Anarchy by William Dalrymple, and the work of Olivia Arthur – Stranger was also quoted. Further artists to consider would be Max Pinckers and Michal Iwanowski.
The advantage of the presentation is that this lays the foundation for the production of the FMP Proposal, which is the first piece of graded work that will be assessed against the learning outcomes LO5 Sustainability and LO7 Professionalism.
The next meeting is in the diary for feedback on the proposal that is due in on 14/02/2022
