Freshers
Moved in on the 13th September, met my flatmates who are all lovely. Freshers week begins. Went to a few bars/clubs - Tiger Tiger, Oceana, Varsity. Enrolment on Monday, met a few people in my class. Wednesday went to Manchester on a day trip. Took a few photos of buildings, shop windows etc. That Friday I chose my electives for the Reading week in February. I chose millinery as my first choice and Jewellery making as my second.
Following week was Induction week i had CAD, Library and Industrial Machinery Inductions. I had a PPD1 briefing and had a learning styles workshop, apparently I am a more social learner, - even though i prefer to work by myself. Hmmm. Went to the Freshers fair and picked up what seemed like a hundred flyers which are all now carefully placed on my noticeboard in my room.
The week just gone, was our first proper week. Monday September 29th, I had Critical Studies and was set a Critical Studies Image Analysis exercise where I had to compare and contrast a Victorian Dinner dress to Hussein Chalayan's Remote Control dress which was fairly easy. I started as soon as it was given to me as i wanted to try and get it finished so i wouldn't be stressing out about it the night before. I was also set a five minute oral presentation with a 500 word written summary which has to be in on the 3rd November - fun, fun, fun, not really looking forward to speaking in front of the whole class. =
Tuesday September 30th - Creative Approaches to Fashion - I feel like I am going to enjoy this brief. Enjoy doing research so should be fun. Manipulated garment - 2nd part of the brief, i did this on Foundation last year, I know i have to make a good research file for it to work.
Wednesday October 1st - Still life drawing exercise. I enjoyed working with ink and mixing media, i normally stick to using one media, so I'll definitely start using mixed media in some of my experiments for my research file.
CAF/CAD Tutoring - Second part of the day. Hmmm... was interesting but very long.
Thursday October 2nd - Independent Study Day, I haven't been sleeping well so i had a good lie in.
Fruity Friday October 3rd - Creative Design Realisation. Had a good day, enjoyed making the different seams, I finished everything quite quickly, so I was allowed to go early.
