Semester 2

As we discussed in Semester 1, the rest of the year will be devoted to the creation of a folio of work which you will use when you go out into the marketplace.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that the work should be the very best you can do. When you are showing your folio to potential clients, you will be competing against lots of other people so you work must be the best it can be. You should aim to create work which is, individual, creative and professional.

The folio you create in second semester will contain

a minimum of 5 pieces

but you can do as much as you want. Just remember that 5 great pieces are better than 10 reasonably good pieces.


As we also discussed in Semester 1 you should aim at developing a folio which you think will best represent the kind of work you would like to do in your coming career.

You can create a folio which is very strongly similar in terms of style and theme or you can create a series of works which display a variety of skills and styles.


As usual you will show me sketches for all your work before you proceed to final artwork.

Schedule

It's not necessary that you know exactly what you are going to do for each of the five pieces at this stage, but you should draw up a schedule so you know how much time to spend on each assignment.
The last class of the semester is Fri 8 Nov.
Draw yourself up a timetable which allows you to spend a reasonable amount of time on each piece.
That way you won't end up doing three things in the last week!
