A bit late I admit, but it has been quite a busy start to the year. I have moved on from the level 2 course to the HNC - quite a jump, but things seem to be going well so far.
Our first piece looked at the idea of ready-made objects as art, leading on from Marcel Duchamp's Fountain, and I chose to focus on unwanted objects, specifically in the form of rubbish! When you tell people you are doing a Fine Art course, I am sure the image that comes to their mind is NOT one of picking up, sorting, washing and using about 3 black bags full of litter to create a sculpture, but that is what I have been doing.
This project is almost finished, but I already have some ideas in development for the next unit, so keep watching this space for an update.
