After lunch

Thoughts on this morning’s activities

- start of research for FMP - good way to loosen up, classroom set up as a gallery setting

- concern about how to find the breadth, depth quality of thinking/making when working with students, particularly teenagers - tasks are good ice breakers.

Kate: but also intended as jumping off points for finding personal routes into making work.

Presentation of Kate’s work:

- Use of colour as a property of sculpture

- doubling objects cast and put together

- flat forms (letter) into 3D

I.e themes of ambiguity

- letters as tools

- role of the audience - do we value this and/or performance based work proposed students

Oscillation between words/text and making form. I.e. the reading leads to making, back to language = research

(Creative cycle : diagram later?

Richard Serra verb list : a ready made research task

20 years worth of materials in the Tate cupboard - artist choices for responding to collections for running workshops - presented list

“Fun things”

Questions/comments

- some students don’t read anything, except maybe text messages?

- this is OK, need to reflect students use of language but they should analyse it, question it, challenge it and let it tell you something

- very fine art based gallery? But could and would work with Designed objects?

(Cite 100 drawings, OBL, typography that describes the word)

Content and intellectual ideas behind the work - how to explore this?

- imagine Van Gogh has dinner with Rothko, what do they talk about?

Kate: immediate thoughts of the audience as a starting point, to engage them in an authentic engagement approach to thinking about processes/materials in the work, as a way into other ways of reading the work I.e. it leads to curiosity to know more: follow up research.
