RK Keeps a Personal Time Plan


Like any decent course, there's a plan. I'm keeping myself organised this year with my wee A5 sketchbook, where I've laid out my course plan. Above you can keep my September plan (so far), but I fully intend on attending the following soon:

- ECA Open Day, 7th October
- Graphic Design Festival Scotland, 20th-26th October (try to make it to at least a handful of the events)
- GSA Open Day, October 26th
- DJCAD Open Day, 1st November

We'll also have a workshop during a week in October through the GSA Associate, as well as an October Project running through that time also. This will mean plenty of prep time for sure.

I'm also a part of an art collective called Behind the Image, and we're hosting our next exhibition at the start of November in London. I decided to collaborate with my friend Sean for this project, so I'll be balancing my schedule with this project also.

We'll have assessments coming up soon also. Dates are to be confirmed, but I'll have plenty of research to do for that also. I'll have access to the college library, as well as GSA's library, and others plotted around Glasgow.

UCAS deadline is usually in January, however I very much aim to get my application and personal statement sent away and ready well before then, so that I can keep my attention on my portfolio and be as prepared for that as possible.

I'll be keeping my diary updated throughout the year with deadlines to keep to, as well as local art events coming up.

I had full intentions on moving on to art school, however when the plan fell through, the option to take on an HNC was discussed with my tutors, and it felt like the best option. I went through most of my time on the Portfolio course feeling torn about what I did want to specialise in. I began the year feeling dead-set on studying Graphic Design, however as the year developed, I fell for illustration much more, and then later on, animation became the most attractive to me. I felt it the most when I made a short film for an art collective I'm part of and absolutely loved the process of drawing things frame by frame and then seeing the final piece move smoothly. That being said, I still have an open mind. My biggest fear about starting the HNC is that it would feel repetitive and...
