We continued to play the Xing game in this week’s workshop. The specific task set this week though was to apply the knowledge we had obtained last week and see if any of the options changed. Our groups’ business idea also changed due to this. Personally, I found it interesting when we were discussing / negotiating how to expand the business and also to work out how and why we were going to get to that point.
I have also been working on my artist’s statement this week and have almost completed my first draft. All of the example statements that I found online were really short and only about half a page long. The task we were set was to write one in about 1000 words, it was kind of hard to do this without going off topic. The ones I found online were all on point and written out clearly, they all more or less followed the same framework which we were given, I’ve already given what I have so far to Mitja and a few other people to have a read over and give me some constructive criticism on how to develop it in to a better piece. Following the advice I get back from everyone I’m hoping that I can apply it all and generate a final piece which I can hand in.
Along with this I have also been designing some concepts for a paper & digital portfolio based design. The designs contrast very much, this is mainly due to the end medium they each will be located in. Almost a year ago I began using Adobe Flash to do simple animation and small projects, and the more I think about it the more my mind sways towards creating a flash based digital portfolio because that would mean I would get a chance to put to use all that I have learnt so far in to a single project and see what I can conjure up. Not only this but it would also be sticking close to the style of art that I like to create,
After scouring through various artists and their works, I have picked out four images that I will be submitting as part of the first assessment. They are the following:

I chose these four examples because of their eminence, their conceptual development phase and also because of their diverse subject matters. They are all also very good demonstrations of the style I like to work in and the level which I wish to surpass in the coming future,
