Working From Home

On Friday, I worked at home so that I could try to concentrate on doing some annotation for my Narrative Image Making (NIM) unit without having other students around. I am finding the annotation side of all my units hard because I either don't know what to say or I'm not sure how to phrase it so that it makes sense to other people and not just me. I also struggle to make sure what I write is actually interesting and not repetitive especially when I have a lot of images to annotate.


I worked a bit on the practical side of my Extended Specialist Techniques as well by adding a few more "links" on to the crisp packet "chain" that I am going to try to make into the neckline of a top. So far I have used 26 links and still need about the same again. I am also trying to only use ready salted Baked crisp packets.

 

I am also going to make a roman-style cuff bracelet using lollypop sticks, paperclips and crisp packets...

and a necklace that resembles a zip...

I will probably use a pen to make the lines on the lollypop stick.


I also edited some photos for my Location Photography unit...

I love the photos of the broom and the first pink-y/purple-y flower.

I edited the photo of the three bird's-foot-trefoil a few times and then used "paint" tool to get rid of the light in the background because I felt it was distracting from the flowers. After that I decided to lower the brightness of the image to make it slightly less blindingly white...

I like these photos and can imagine buying them as a photo canvas.


I feel like I did more work at home on Friday than I would have done at college because I wasn't getting distracted by other students or break-times because I could just get on with it rather than people walking in and out of the room all the time.
