Task 1. refine the 2000 word Project Proposal *Mandatory*
Yes… i have managed to make a very good start with my proposal already by breaking down elements of what my work is about and comparing my use of themes towards other artists. I have successfully kept up with my tasks of writing 100 words a day at least. At the moment it all sound quite promising straightforward to writing about the main elemental points about what the divisions of representational indexicality actually hold. I will keep continuing to refine my proposal to the best understanding that I possibly can and making sure it all sounds like good sense. I hope to send a copy of my proposal to Shaun Camp and with any luck he can tell me what I should do to make it better.
Task 2. start on my Research Methods Presentation *Mandatory*
I should really make a good start with my Research proposal presentation which will be held on the 14th of January. As this is the deadline to come up with all the findings of elements behind my work, I should try my best now to puzzle my theories together to make a convincing case for my artwork. This will involve some artists along with theorists within the indexicality side of things, the sublime, Dada, the everyday object etc… I must explain all of this in the clearest view possible for everyone else to understand the concepts behind my work.
Task 3. complete Chinese and English Illness Squatting Toilet
Yes… I have been slightly held back all because I had to get my prints ready for pretty’s exhibition and this job could not wait. Now that I have prepared my prints, I can now focus a bit more on my squatting toilet and hope that I can finish cutting the remaining bricks in reasonable time preferably before the 21st of January. Then I think it should be done for now until by the end of january I can play around with it more to see if anything does need changing.
Task 4. complete Chairman Mao Print – adding sunglasses, white teeth, a gold tooth and background colours = 4 more layers.
I must ideally try my best to complete the remaining layers of my chairman Mao print before the end of January if possible. There are only 4 or 5 layers left to do of the print which would total up to about 11 or 12 layers altogether. I hope that I can make another good start on this process by the 4th of January which is on Monday. The next layer will be the background layer.
