Well, I’ve survived my first week in full time education in 22 years! Monday saw our introduction to Jewellery – we started with a design sheet and learning various techniques. The afternoon was spent starting to explore ‘line’ in contextual studies. On Tuesday we started looking at the print workshop and more drawing exercises, with the afternoon being introduced to our contextual studies in Art Nouveau (we’re doing an art journal for this one, yay!). And on Friday we looked at graphic design with emphasis on illustration, with even more drawing. Anyone would think that we’re on an art course 😉

College – Induction Week
Summer assignment – ‘about me’ postcard
There’s just a week to go before I finally start my extended diploma in art and design course at Leicester College, and I must admit looking forward to it. We were set a summer assignment to create an A5 size postcard, with the front being a collage describing ourselves, and the reverse carrying the college address and a description of what we’d been doing over the summer.
I started work on it last week, and yesterday I finished my submission:
No art? Here’s why…
Hi all,
Apologies for the lull in artistic expression – I’ve been busy decorating/renovating the dining room. There’s been art in the planning though – I’ll be sharing my travel art journal (a handmade book, and will be August’s make and take at Manic Stamper Craft Club), and canvases for the dining room incorporating newspaper cuttings from 1937 I found under the floor when sorting out the radiator and electrics.
And here’s a heads-up: another week of daily tangle pattern goodness starts on Monday 1st August.
Happy holidays!
