Portait Of an Artist
Alex schady
first video was of an angry fox on a beach, his response to the beach in general.
when you dont htink and try to make art, art just happens! he constantly repeated!
'Crap Jobs' - Problem soliving are in are brain! because we just think differantly to everyone!

Oliver West.
Visual thinking! - his stratigy was to make us right down are doodles! and they can be used as notes for us because we will remember and understand what hes talking about.
( WWW.Oliverwest.net) start selling asap risk it! worth a try just to get your name out there. prinkt making is a great way becuase you can do editions so easily! and make sure my art always increases in value and never drops other wise customers will feel they wasted there money.. when people by art they generaly think its going to increase in value so this would really ruin you. He was a fellow EXTREME DYSLEXIC! call for help if i ever need; oliverwestfootnotes@gmail.com
This has been the most educational week so far! also the first week! so thats saying something! :) the things i have learnt are;
- team work
- scale drawing
- my brain (oliver west)
- not being so protective over my images
On monday we did scale drawing which i hate! but i know i need to improve it because its one of the fundimentals needed for fine art! so evan though i found this week VERY HARD! i have persuised and persissited and tried my hardests thought out even i hated a task and thought it was pointless. On tusday we did wide anglewhere we had 6 hours to do one image which by the end of the day looked still very empty which was not what i was aiming for but i did really like my image and thought i'd already improved my drawing skill which i guess is GOOD! but a task i think i should continue to do just to improve my drawing but not one i will enjoy.. atleast untill i perfect it. On wednesday we had a long lecture which was titled " what is a drawing" when we were talking about how art is an international langueage. this was very intresting to hear because i had never thought of art as a language but now i've see the light i cant stop thinking about it! and what to comunicate with someone i have never meet from another world or country by imergy! Then i took my sketch book and film camera out and drew and took a few images of the docks. Thursday was my favourate day of the week! i really relaly enjoyed doing the team activity and was really satisfied by are image evan though it was washed away at the end of the day i still felt i had something to show for all my hard work! This thought us that we really cant get attached to are work. By the end of the day we all axcepted that we would lose are image but we all still had a large smile on are faces just becuase we knew we had finished :) Then on the friday we had a really intresting lecture from Alex Schady and Oliver West, i found alex schady quite dim.. and patrinizing.. so i was not very intrested in his talk at all! he only really talked about the real basics.. some of which i was already doing.. the only part i enjoyed of his was the film which was very querky and funny. But Oliver West was really really intresting and i thought i really connected with him and i was a very similar person to him with extreme dyslexia ( if you hadnt noticed yet) and he was talking about methods of organization and remebering and learning which i found really useful so that made up for the other guy! something i would happily watch again.
