Tutorials

The first individual tutorials were on Friday. For the tutorials I generally hang some photos and try to organize my notes etc so that its possible for other people to have a look through them and actually understand what's going on.
The individual tutorial is with our lecturer. Is was quite good, giving me a time to reflect a little bit about what the PAP is about, and how I am going to manage the project. The lecturers are normally good at giving feedback and providing you with information about other artists etc that they think you might find interesting. However I think the group tutorials are better.

For the group tutorials we are about seven people (in SEA at least) who meet up with a tutor and look at each others work, comment on it and make suggestions.
In my presentation I focused on the site that I have picked, and how I can work within that site, asking people to join me in a brainstorm for ideas etc. Also I wanted feedback on how I can reach different audiences for the PAP.
It takes a lot of time and energy to do the group tutorials and the group crits, but they are very helpful when it is finally your turn and you get to feed off everyone elses experience and knowledge.

Yesterday I finally managed to go to the library as well (Lucky me!). I have been putting it off for almost a week, partly because I am not sure exactly what I am looking for, so I am blindly trying to look for something that will inform the PAP and be useful, in addition I am not really very motivated for going to the library itself. They have tons of useful stuff in the library, and when I get there I am always a bit surprised at why I don't go there more often, however I would enjoy this part so much more if I could skip the whole looking for right book/article/dvd/slide whatever it is, and just sit down with it to read/watch it with a nice cup of tea and everything.

Tomorrow I am going to Cove Park, northwest of Glasgow, with the rest of the students in Environmental Art. We are staying away for three nights to do research and have a good time together. I am really looking forward to it, although I have to be back here on Friday already to work on the Advisory Day.
