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.

Ross Hamilton Frew Residency Visit

Last thursday, we took a trip to House for An Art Lover over in Bellahouston Park to visit artist in resident Ross Hamilton Frew. We met him on his second last day of his residency, in which he'd been experimenting with ceramics to make the most of the facilities within the art shed studios. Ross Hamilton Frew introduced himself to us and explained some of his background. He graduated from Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2007, and considers his practice to revolve around drawing. He later took a year long residency in Newcastle Upon Tyre where he learnt the technique of paper making. He decided to stay in Newcastle after that, and is now based there. He then moved on to working more 3-dimensional ideas, including working with wax. For his residency at House for An Art Lover, he's been trying to work with ceramics, though he admitted to us that he'd never really tried it out before other than taking an evening class in Newcastle while h...

The White Pube: Origin Story Talk

The White Pube are art critic bloggers that I've been following for over a year now, who approach art in an honest and unapologetically funny way. When I heard that they were doing a talk at The Art School, I figured it would only be polite to go hear them. (I should add, I didn't manage to get any images of the event, however I did tweet them before asking if I had to pay at the door) I dragged my lovely friend Eoghan along and we made trecks. They discussed their beginnings with the blog and how/why they started. The team consisted, at the start, with two Central Saint Martin's students named Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad. They shared a studio space together at university, and after discussions about how frustrated they were about how there was a great lack of diversity with art critics (mainly with how many middle-class white men seemed to be the only ones to share their opinions on art pieces) and they also just had some thoughts that felt worth...
