Draft dates for the Autumn Study Period for BAPP Arts

To be confirmed

Everyone, please note a few dates for the Autumn schedule. I will send out a formal email after the 1st September. My home phone and internet has been off since the 13th of August - so it has made doing things online a bit more difficult in trying to connect.

Adesola and I are still firming up some of the times - so this is still a draft... this is for continuing students - we will have an online induction for new students.

SEE LATER DRAFT COMING SOON

Graduation 2015!

Congratulation to everyone who completed they BAPP Arts degree this year. I heard some great stories about how people are using the what they learned in their professional inquiries. A number who are working have sent emails to let us know, which has been great to hear. Good luck to everyone on your next steps!

Reminder about Adesola and Helen's event this summer - Dance & Writing!

Contact Helen if you are interested!

Looking around

Sketches black and white - and done very quickly - I think the main thing about these sketches is about re-engaging with the visual vocabulary of the work. Recently looked at the work of Sonia Delaunay -  http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/ey-exhibition-sonia-delaunay colour will come back in - but this artist also had rhythm and pattern - the 2nd sketch perhaps needs a bit more 2d pattern in the final versions. 

I also went to final year art shows at Middlesex http://www.mdx.ac.uk/about-us/our-schools/school-of-art-and-design/features/design-futures - really bowled over by the variety form our own Art & Design Department - this was presented at the Truman Brewery http://www.trumanbrewery.com

Chelsea - http://events.arts.ac.uk/event/2015/6/19/Chelsea-Undergraduate-Summer-Show-2015/ very good to see. 

Performance? 'This is not the End' and the Arcola https://www.arcolatheatre.com/production/arcola/now-this-is-not-the-end - very good!! Definitely going back - very friendly atmosphere and serious theatre well written, staged and acted. 

I hope to go to more exhibition and performances this summer and hope others have the chance as well between work and holidays...

Reminder about Dance and Writing - Adesola and Helen's event in the summer!!! will put on the next blog!!!

Thanks to everyone for a very very busy time - back to the news!

I can't believe how busy it got during this last period - slowly recovering in time for graduation! Congratulations to everyone who completed their work on the programme!!!

Thanks to all Module 2 people who worked on their forms - good to get them right - we will be starting this earlier next time but the effort was well done and appreciated.

Module 1 - good work - look forward to continuing in Sept.

I am back to the looking at the news- some of which is disheartening but with some glimmers of new thinking:

I will try to keep up a bit more - have had several conversations for those doing literature reviews now for M3. I too need to do these properly no for some research I am undertaking. Full speed ahead...
