So after ‘ Nude and Naked’ today we had our usual critique. However, this time I knew that my image had more to it than just for the purpose of this week’s task so I was quite keen to hear about what people thought to it. The main response was how it certainly does show…

#picbod groundworks
I am really happy with my ‘nude and naked’ task response. I like the formal set-up of something quite ordinary as I feel that there is something more for the audience to gain, a sort of sense of intrusion and unease. Thinking about this I have had to try and brain storm more ideas along…
#Picbod Nude and Naked lecture and workshop
So, in Thursday’s session we first of all had a lecture about the nude and naked. We discussed the argument between nude and naked. What means what and then what that means in the art world. In the language of art, “good naked” is conveyed by the word “nude”, while if you say “naked”, you…

Self-Portrait Thoughts #Picbod
Lecture Notes: I have been set to create a self portrait using available light whether that be natural (sunlight) or ambient (computer screen, lamps etc). During the first seminar we looked at the work of Nikki S. Lee who in ‘Projects’ affiliates herself with communities such as high school students and the elderly; from this…
