Keywords of the week (after coming back to uni)

Thursday morning had fed us a lots of programmes we will be gone through for the next half of the final year.

• Guest Lectures from AOI, Chris Dobrowolski, Phill Shaw. 
• London overnight trip
• Formative assessment on 7 March
• Timetabled assessment on 23 May
• Degree show set up on 2-- 16 May
• Every Friday we will have lectures with Lee, last 6 weeks. Graham will also give lecture about 'presentation'
• Mini Exhibition, to show our work within a assigned group and also to comment on the exhibition. This is an opportunity to practice the presentation skill for the final exhibition. 

Then in the afternoon, I had a tutorial with Gill. 

• what do I want to do with the character instead of showing concept?
• a fuller body of work.
• the story of the characters

So, for all the characters I have been developed, I really need to consider how to 'make sense of their existence'. I need to create a 'selling point', that able to make my characters meaningful and also when present, it need to have enough evidence for people to understand my characters, instead of just provide a aesthetic visual experience.

I am one of the person in the first group of mini exhibition and I planned to show image of two of my characters. Not until today, I thought about the appropriation on selecting image to present, I think I should also showcase the details of the characters and a short description.

After all the spontaneous preparation for the mini exhibition, I realise that I should started to tidy up all the idea on sketchbook and 'finalised' the idea of all the characters into a 'file'. So, the development of the characters will pause here. What I will do next is create characters portfolio and make 3 to 5 images that tell the story of the characters.

Lastly, I shall not forget the assignment given on Friday, to create a online web based portfolio of my own. Since I have an account on Behance, so I though I will make one on it.
