Pictopoiesis – first video
Making my MPR video was a steep learning curve – which is what I like as I now have a new tool in the form of the video storytelling format. Also, I actually enjoyed doing the narration, which surprised me. My idea is to build up, improving as I go a series of very short […]
MidPoint Review – reflection
The trajectory for the next large painting is a reconnection with the time just before I began the MA course. The MidPoint Review has reminded me of all that has gone on over the last six months. I also get a feeling of how much more will be added to that before I finish the course. […]
