Waiting around...

Hello everybody!


It's been a while, I've been up to quite a lot in the last few weeks! 


Firstly, the Slade degree show was a success, the private view was so busy and it was great to see the building transformed into an amazing exhibition space!


Next on the agenda was my assessment, leading up to it I wanted to make another painting so I was in the studio and found it quite a battle getting the right colour and composition after the breakthrough I had with my last two paintings. But I feel happy with the result now and the assessment went well I think, it was a really relaxed discussion about my progression over the year. 


So now I am awaiting my grade for the year, I feel I've worked hard and really established my interests and focussed on a subject matter. I'd be happy with a 2.1 if I'm honest, although as long as I pass it doesn't really matter what my grade is as it doesn't count towards my final mark.


Hopefully I'll get my grade by the end of this week, then next Monday I have a feedback session with a tutor, it's a sort of end-of-year debrief I guess. Between now and then I'm just trying to get organised, I have work to bring home from the studio and a holiday to organise! So for now, continuing with my work isn't a high priority but my interest is always there, in fact I saw there is an exhibition of 150 years of royal wedding memorabilia at the Museum of Brands, Packaging and Advertising so I'm really interested in checking that out and hopefully getting some new resource photos!


I'll be sure to post some photos of my latest painting soon and of course I will let you all know what grade I get! I can't quite believe this first year has gone so quickly!
