WHAT MAKES ART AN EFFECTIVE PLATFORM FOR CULTURAL CHANGE?

WORK OVER CHRISTMAS

The work I have completed over christmas has been primarily on my artifact. I have started dying my fabric and sewing into it. At the moment I am not as pleased with where it is going as my other piece which I completed earlier in the process as a practice and purely out of curiosity. Therefore a problem occurring during this is how I am either going to make my artifact better or how I will work on changing my plan.
I had the idea of changing my final piece to the piece I made earlier and completing my final artifact as a practice, I will ask my supervisor if this is at all possible because I have far more I can write about my other piece.
Another small problem which occurred these two weeks was my sewing machine breaking and therefore not allowing me to complete my artifact efficiently, to get over this I had to spend time trying to fix it and workout what went wrong.

PRESENTATION AND BEGINNING MY ARTIFACT

Yesterday I did my EPQ presentation. It went well and I said everything I needed to say, talking about my organisation, development and reflection. Before the presentation I had a rehearsal with my supervisor and there were a few things which needed touching up including things that needed adding. My supervisor told me that I needed to talk about how my EPQ has developed me as an artist and so I added this in.

I have also stated creating my artifact and finished my mid-project review and am meeting all the deadlines I am setting for myself.

PROGRESS WITH PRESENTATION AND ARTIFACT

Over the course of December I have been working on my sketches for my artefact as well as getting my presentation together.


The sketches for my artefact have gone into my research book and I have picked a favourite which I will begin creating as soon as possible.


I have had a rehearsal for my presentation in which I have got back loads of useful information from my supervisor. To make my presentation better I need to include more about the process I undertook and the things that I have learnt over the course of EPQ. I have made cue cards and the next stage is to do the presentation on Wednesday.
