Unisa Art Workshop

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well and have had a lovely week J

I have! J I had my first UNISA art workshop this week, where I handed in all my art assignments, for drawing, painting and sculpture. Half of the workshop comprised of lectures, a few activities, and the other half was assessing.

Our lecturers, Gwen Miller, Emma Willemse, Fabian Wargau and Katya Venter, were amazing. Such brilliant artists themselves, look them up! They gave me great advice and were very inspiring! Their marking was tough but at least you know when you get that good mark you really do deserve it! I passed all my modules, woop woop, not amazing marks but a pass is a pass when you’ve been as busy as I have!

Here’s a few photos of my art...

Moving on... more busy times ahead, I have my Eco Craft Classes happening soon, yay for that J This term is my teaching prac term, so lots of lesson planning ahead! Then there are exams end of May- not amped for those, and finally, submission of art assignment 2. Excited for the road ahead, a little nervous about my time management skills failing to improve- I really do need time management tips, that work, please J

I am getting Photoshop soon, can’t wait to start with the digital drawing!!
Watch this space J

Well best I get down to my art research, first on the list is defining the line between art and craft, where it is blurred and what are the do’s and don’ts.

Stay Smilling
