CO2 project-3

We went to look for somewhere good point to see 

Arthur's seat and she was interested in (the close?)

called Jacob's Ladder so we climbed up there and there were

interesting lanes.

I thought that there are still a lot of streets or closes

which I don't know yet in Edinburgh. 

Even I live here over one year, streets in Edinburgh make

me confused and every time when I got lost I try to enjoy 

finding new streets(if I have a time though). 

We decided to do at this ↑ point. 

CO2 project-2

Co2 meeting with Christine

Since we have decided to work together we have been sending 
e-mails each other and finally we could make a time to have meeting for our project.

We hardly had talked each other but once we had group critic 
in the last semester.
So she remembered my project and she tried to use the idea of 
my project. She also has made video works before so we decided 
to make film using images which I took.

So we decided to take panoramic photos from the same place for five days,which is similar idea of my own project but I was interested in that.

Because I haven't had experience to make video works before and I was interested in that how I would feel doing the same things somewhere else(not the meadow).
Then we decided to use something iconic scene of Edinburgh.

Tutorial-2

When I have tutorial or critic, I always try to prepare what to say and write down some sentences but these have never worked out before. I often think real communication is always alive and there are so many unexpected things.

Although it might be because of 2nd year, I feel I can now express what I want to say than before though the progress is only little by little.

I had tutorial with Andrew today and I talked about my life log.
I have started it before coming to Edinburgh.
The contents are 

*what I did at the day(with time)
*what I eat
*who I met
*who I send e-mails and its contents(simply)
*some ideas
*things I felt it is good or question
*what I thought, felt 
*asking question myself

"Everyday life"

It might be a big theme for art practice.
But since I have started this life log, I realized that I can learn from my past life.
I agree that to look only past or live in past would be 
useless but I think I can use the past life to develop yourself.
That is why I try to read the notebooks again which is very tough 
things though... because I feel that the notes seem to be written  by someone different person. But it absolutely me. I have to face  myself.
Unfortunately I can't show the notebooks to other because if I showed all of them I won't be able to write naturally.
I might do something superficial things for other not for me.
I would think that everyone has their definition of "Everyday life" and it is difficult for me to say what is everyday life.
but since I have started this life log I feel like I am getting to know everyday life.... 

CO2 project-1

I was wondering when we would get sign-up sheet of c02!
I thought that it might have been uploaded on our website.

My guess was right.

I could manage to found it but it was too late.
Everyone had already found project partner and most of weeks 
have been booked!

But fortunately, I could find one mate who haven't got partner 
to work with. (Christine!)

Thankfully, she kindly accepted to work with me. 
So our co2 project plan has started like this.

group critic-1

1st of October Monday

The first group critic in this semester went well, I think.
I had that with Rozita and Stephen both are painters.

We had quick introducing each other then it began with Rozita's 
critic.

Her drawing works looked very soft and used only black paint
so that remind me of something Asian calligraphy style paint.
All of her works we saw today were faces and size of the works were quite big so it made me feel power even using a soft brush. 

She draws faces or people because she is interested in people, which is very natural reason but I tried to think about myself
then I wonder why I can't take a photo of people?
I am interested in people as well. I just thought that there might be something clue to know why I can't take portrait photo.

Stephen's works were very interesting for me.
It a bit difficult to explain in word but I'd like to say
there was something chaos in his paints. And there seemed to be a lot of stories in one picture. 
He uses colors and draws interesting scenes which come
from in his dreams.
When it comes to dreams, it would take long time to talk, which
means dreams have strong influence for us, I guess...
I always try to make a note when I had a dream but even I write it down into a notebook,the story doesn't make sense and the memories start to lose...
When I looked his paints I felt I was sharing his strange dreams.

I was the last turn and talked about the project I have been 
doing since last November, Everyday photo project.
I was nervous before talking but when I started talking, I could 
explain the project and my thoughts or intention naturally.
It is a big difference compare with last year.
I'd like to think that the project is getting part of my work and
life. It sounds a bit strange but actually, when I started it I wasn't sure how it's going to be. I feel that I am getting know
what I want to do. 

I could not speak and explain very fluently but they seemed to get something about my works.

They said "it is like discipline"
It might be my discipline art.
