Collaboration with Creative Writing students

This week you all received a poem written by one of the Creative Writing students. The idea is that you respond photographically to the text and post your response (1-3 images) on your blog, together with the other outstanding assignment which is about your own choice of story.

For the poem, it would be best if you work B&W as the idea is that it will eventually become a publication and there is probably no money for full colour. We would also like to exhibit this work in week 13, together with the responses from Visual Arts students. This will happen in the Visual Arts hallway area - more information on that later.

Next week is your chance to catch up on all this work and we will review it 12 October.

C@W issues

Hi Stage 2.

We have been made aware of some difficulties that many of you are having with this project from communication issues, dealing with Managers and workload. We are aware that some of you have now been given a minimal amount of time to complete your task and others have not been treated well. We will be discussing these issues with C@W .

Be assured that we will not let your assessment suffer as a result of any of these problems. We have decided that the best and fairest way to deal with these issues in terms of an assessment strategy for the Assignment is to make it a Formative Assessment Item. This means that regardless of the difficulties or lack thereof in completing your task your result for this will not be graded, the task will be recorded as completed/not completed.

The low-res jpegs of your best work need to be in by October 7th around 6-10 images unless you have more that are suitable.

We and C@W will assess the work and decide which images go into the show and C@W will decide which ones they will buy. You will be told on October 12th which images will be exhibited and you will then need to have high quality 8x10 prints made, Dave can handle this for you or you can go elsewhere.

The show will go up on Monday October 19th so we’ll need to deliver all the work by that morning. If people can help with the hanging that would be much appreciated.

When C@W tells us which images they wish to buy we will inform you and you can deliver or email the files directly to them.

We’ll provide more updates as required.

Exhibition closing

Just a gentle reminder (Jeremy) that the exhibition comes down tomorrow afternoon at 4pm. If you cannot be there let me know and we'll place your work in a safe place. As always, all care, no responsibility, the safest way of course is to remove it yourself. Also one of the responsibilities of the users is to return it to it's original condition, that doesn't mean we have to paint it in lime green however. Sarah and Sam you are off the hook, you helped out with the repaint on Monday. There shouldn't be much to do, Lars has some filler but mostly there will only be pin/nail holes to cover. Tape might present some problems but we'll see when we see. Thanks again for making it a wonderful show, every time I see staff from other areas they comment on just how fantastic the work was. Those who with Tas Neg Study will be seeing a result within the next week.

Bungendore & Braidwood field trip

1st years, listen up:

TUESDAY 8 September - field trip with Belinda to Bungendore and Braidwood:

Meet at 10.00 am SHARP at the Cafe Woodworks (next door to Bungendore Woodworks). Be on time, we don't want others sitting around waiting for late comers.

We will then do a shoot in Bungendore (aprox 1.5 hrs) then head to Braidwood to meet Stephen Best of Macquarie Editions (23 Elrington St Braidwood). It will be a very busy and productive day, so come with lots of energy for hard work.

Belinda's phone is 0409428902.
