I'm new to this whole blog craic and have been putting this off for as long as I can but I think it's about time I gave it a try.
I'm in the early stages of art college in the Limerick School of Art and Design, hence the name of this post. So far I do love art college, it's all I've ever wanted to do and all I've ever been able to see myself doing.
We were given our first project about 2 weeks ago so I've been busy busy trying to get that in order. The project title is "Movement and Motion"...yeah, my mind drew a blank when I heard the title too.
It's actually proving to be more difficult than I originally thought. When we look around us in every day life, everything moves in some shape or form. Traffic, people, animals, water, wind etc. are all moving. So to pin-point something to focus on for this project is actually really hard.
Thankfully the first few weeks are all about experimenting and trying out different ideas, and apparently getting lost can be good at this stage as it makes you think and sometimes the best ideas are come up with then...so if that's the case then I certainly am on the right path.
Mind maps have become my new thing these days, its amazing what random things I can come up with...I really didnt think I could get anymore random then I am. They're a great help for when I just get stuck and think I cant do anything, they help to get ideas back again.
As I write this, my brain is buzzing away with some new ideas that came to me today so I'm busy researching. When I think of Movement and Motion, I think a lot about the human body, how it works, how we treat it etc. and I think this is the angle I'm going to come from. Where it goes from there..well who knows :)
