IRE - 25/09/12

Today started with introduction to assignment -1.Neil told us about how this assessment 1 going to do .This assessment need my all work as portfolio and a commentary on evaluating all the researched materiel's from secondary and primary sources.
                                               Next we looked at how analysis works.first in class we star to analysis our new course with a positive and challenging view, Neil ask to students about what is the positiveness of starting a new course in the college.I did understand the view point of some students,  first day to the college is Challenging for most students and I understand the positive side of it getting new experience and new skills from the course creative and doing something for our self. and there is some challenging's Academic writing, meeting new people, work load etc.

After this we start to analysis the art work, first how I can analyse an art work. I think I can start with formal qualities, formal qualities are size, materiel's, techniques, texture tone,mood.Then context its saying about when, where, history of the art, and about the artist. At last intentions, how the art looks.

 
The picture I am showing here is the The Execution of lady Jane grey. This is one of the art work that Neil gave us to analyse.

The formal qualities of this art is, its a oil painting, creating a mood , dark shades and colors, looks religious
and the context is the art work is looks old and its from London art gallery its illustrative.

This are just try to explain and under stand how I can analysis art work.
                                         

IRE 18/09/12

Today Neil Started with a presentation on What is Art? and explaining about aesthetics of art's, who deciding what is art?,and art history.In this lesson I made understandings about what is art. "art is everything in human culture that possesses  produce aesthetic properties " this is the definition for art in the power point presentation. I have my own definition to art but I don't know how much it will fit to the question what is art.
For me art is a silent language that speaking between artist and public(people), First I didn't understand about art aesthetics later on i made some research through internet, then I got more information on this.(http://atheism.about.com/od/philosophybranches/p/Aesthetics.htm)  Aesthetics is sense of perception,to perceive, perceptible by the senses. There is rules and principles of aesthetic as they apply to art. There are lots of artists in the world but who decides what is art? I did understand more about the art through this power point presentation.  after this presentation I can say there are two type of arts one is fine art and another one is applied art.I am studying New media so New media is an applied art .Also in this section Neil gave us a sheet that explain  how can we analyse art work. this sheet is very help full to me for analyzing an art work
       In class students are asking doubts and questions to Neil about art and analyzing art work.After this Neil gave us a small paper to write about what I am looking forward to this course and what is the most challenging thing in this course. I wrote  designing my ideas with 3D and 3D design it self.For me most challenging thing in this course is writing reflective learning journal  I know that I have to practice it by writing every day at the end of the lesson.
       After this I got sheet that asking questions on espoused theory versus theory in use I have to answer that questions.I think this type of questions will help me to explore my self and about my real thoughts about this course.

Investigation,Reflection& Expression, My first Module at the college with Neil Wood, First thing on the day was Neil give us a Introduction about Reflective Learning Journals and he gave us lecture.This is my first experience on writing and learning about  Reflective Learning Journals.Then Neil gave us brief on Investigation,Reflection& Expression. Then Neil starts lecture on this module and conversation's with students about understanding on IRE.After that every student in the class had a small piece of paper in that paper there is a subject that need to research and present as power point presentation. I selected my subject Abstract Expressionism.In this first section of our module Neil talk about Time management,I try to understand How I can manage my time for studying.Neil gave a time table for mapping average term time in a week and all personal& leisure commitments. I added my times in the map. From this moment I can see there is lots of time for me to sped for studying in home time because I have only two and half days of class in my college so I can spend my time in home for studying and working on my projects and assignments.I understood that my projects from college on 3D design need more research and work so I need more time out side the class to spend on my work.
                                                           After the time management Neil start study skills I start to understand the condition needed for studying. I will try to apply this conditions in my time. I understand that I have to set time and goals.Neil gave us a hand out that explain about study skills.
