Monday tutorials
Carol asked me if i would cover Steve's foundation group as he was working away for that day. I decided not to do a group tutorial as i knew the group needed to get on and work. I instead offered individual tutorials for those who felt that they needed to talk about their work. After the register i placed a piece of paper down for all the students that wanted a tutorial to put their name down. only to did witch i felt was a shame.
My first tutorial went very well. the students are focusing on talking about their work and looking at what words would describe their interests and practice. I listened to the student an realised she was interested in accident and control guiding her mark making. Also light and shadow played a large part in her over all body of work. I offered artists that she could look at and possible ideas that could take her experimental exploration to new medias.
I felt that the student got what she needed from the tutorial and was happy.
When i looked on the paper for the next name i noticed lots more had been put down.
during the day i also gave practical advice on construction of a 2 piece mould. i did feel that i didnt have enough time for that student as she was in Hanna's group and i felt torn from Steve's.
during lunch Carol asked if i could give a special tutorial to one student that had lost a lot of time on the course. I found this to be show of confidence on my tutorial skills. Its extremely impotent not to loose a student because if numbers go down then possibly jobs are lost. I was very happy to give the tutorial and felt the student had a strong plan to move forward with.
