This blog has nothing to do with Part Four of this course. I have documented it here as it occurred at the point where I working on this part of the course. The notes are in bullet point form.

Noted 23 participants of which 5 males.

These are the notes that I made from the discussions included in the meeting which was supported by five HE6 students.

How well prepared did you think you were before starting HE6?

Jane, felt ready, wanted to paint rather than sit behind a computer.

Dawn, completed CIP, smooth transistion to HE6.

Patricia, felt ready, 11 years study, thinking differently about self.

Naomi, rollercoaster, emotional experience, light hearted and fun at previous level. Made self uncomfortable, intense. Communicating with the art world.

Rachel, juggling with work comittments, essay was a struggle. Book ‘How to write about Contemporary Art’ Risk taking.

Two project at once, essay writing difficult. Alternating between two courses.

*Essays need to be on something that you are interested in*

Major project and contextual studies interlinked.
