First making day at Wysing

 I'm sure you are all aware, I have completed the three taster days at Wysing, next its making days and arts award sessions. I am here to tell you about one such event.

November 19th 


So, this is my first making day at Wysing. This morning is a making half day and this afternoon is an arts award session. Lets start with this morning.

Basically, these making days are for us to use all the materials at Wysing to make anything we want and to talk about our ideas so far for if we want any input. I decided to use a sheet of A2 paper and paint on the word austerity in big, bold letters.

In the afternoon, it was the arts award session. This involved Kirsten explaining to us about all the different units involved in a gold arts award. This is basically what is involved.

Unit 1 
Part A
This part involves working with artists to create various pieces of art. This is the art challenge.
Part B
This part involves getting involved in your local art world. You need to research different occupations and courses involving art in your local area.
Part C
This part involves you going to and reviewing various exhibitions and events.
Part D
This part involves forming and communicating a view on something going on in the arts world.

Unit 2
Part A
This part involves planning an arts project. This could be anything from a workshop to an intensive course in your chosen subject.
Part B
This part involves delivering the planned arts project.
Part C
This part involves reviewing the project, how it went, anything you would change etc.

This pretty much sums up my day at Wysing.
