Negotiated Learning Plan, Fine Art In Society:

1.) What interests or drives you? 

I am very interested in the idea of handling my own exhibition as these are life skills that I may need for future preferences, especially if I will be holding any exhibitions independently. It is very important that I gather as much knowledge as possible on how to set up an exhibit so that I become capable and confidence for other upcoming occasions.

For this module I plan to explore around the subject of insects, since I am doing Insects for Marcia’s module I plan on looking at other species such as Butterflies, Moths and more.

2.) What materials do you think might best serve your investigations?  

I am planning on working both big and small so for this I will be touching around in different medias, for example: sculpture, paintings and prints.

Sculpture is standing out to me the most at the moment where I plan on using flexible materials such as wires and pipe cleaners which will be the best for creating curves and bends within my work.

3.) What media / areas possible exhibition sites/participatory project opportunities you intend to explore and research?

I intend to explore around locally for somewhere to exhibit my work, meaning somewhere in Sunderland.

The work that I plan on producing will be more suitable to be shown indoors rather than out, this is due to materials I plan on using and also depending on weather conditions. So, taking these terms into consideration I plan on locating my work either inside of the University or inside another building not too far away.

With having to think of the most suitable environment for my work I have been thinking of questioning to display my work in locations such as:

The Shaun Gallery, The University Café, The Winter Gardens Greenhouse and a couple more.

4.) How will you measure your success?

Measuring success is not just the end result but the whole process. To measure my result, I will look right back to the beginning and take into mind how I have handled the whole project. Success is gaining the confidence to ask around, structuring and handling my posters so that they will be seen, displaying my work, people turning up to my event, success for me is being one step further on then I already was.
