Initial week by week time table and amendments.

I have created a week by week table to keep me on track of what stage i should be upto. This allows me to plan ahead, if any changes are made or if something didnt go quite as i planned the amendments allow me to express why this happened and what i could do to improve it. I could also recieve feedback from other students or tutors so this enables me to log their opinion and if i agree for me to work towards improving.

Week	Planning	Amendments/feedback
1 12th -18th	Generate a body of initial research. Such as drawings, paintings, mixed media, photography, diagrams, notes, secondary and contextual research such as artists. Devise 2 potential ideas to develop further.	I started out by researching Patrick Heron, Sean Scully and Richard Diebenkorn. Each artist portrays abstracted landscapes using colour as the defiant feature In their work. I found this a very useful starting point as I think their abstraction and use of colour will inspire me to develop my ideas into a more abstracted style.

2 19th -25th	Pitch my main idea to students and staff and await feedback to negotiate a project brief to work towards. Type a project proposal (to be handed in on the 23rd). Continue with research started in the first week.	I pitched my idea and it was taking positively. The feedback I was given from students is to try and make the body be showcased, not just but as well as the body ornamentation (which I aim my outcome to be). I agreed with this as I want the body to play an important role in my final piece.
3 26th -1st	Research different fabrics and there qualities, different type of stitch and colour. Start experimentation with materials such as paper, fabric, card etc. Go out and try to find cheap fabrics instead of working with the limited materials from college. Work out what resources are more robust and rigid; figure out ways to create rigid materials such as wax. What’s more effective??
Easter (2 weeks) 2nd -15th	Complete any unfinished work. Continue with research and experimentation with fabrics and material, stitch and colour. Primary research - go to wales and take photographs of the seascapes at different times of the day to achieve different colours/tones in each picture. Update any sketch book work and blog.
4 16th -22nd	Create a colour pallet based on the colours from the photographs taken of the seascape. Work with subtle dyes to produce a wide spread of coloured fabrics and then produce a range of abstracted seascapes.
5 23rd -29th	Research artists/designers who create body ornamented pieces to begin to get inspiration into how I will place my piece onto the body. Produce a spread of body ornamented designs in sketchbook.
6 30th -6th	Experiment with the designs I prefer. Choose what materials/fabrics I want to make the final piece out of. Choose which design is more engaging which I can develop into my final major.
7 7th -13th	Once chosen which design to develop start working on the basics such as starting to build up the fabrics/materials by using techniques such as stitching or embossing.
8 14th -20th	Begin to make the material more robust to enable it to hold the shape on the body (using a mannequin). Choose from experimentation, done earlier in week 3, which the most effective method of keeping the materials form is, such as wax. Then apply that to the piece.
9 21st -27th	Make sure the piece is completed and held together how you want, take photographs of it on the body/manikin.
10 28th -3rd	Make any last minute improvements to the piece if needed. Begin to set up my allocated space.
Whit (1 week) 4th -10th	Finish any in completed work/annotations in my sketchbook and blog. Go to Wales to the seascape I originally photographed, take pictures of the piece in the environment, and wear the body ornamentation as well to showcase the body. Perhaps enlarge these photographs to present in the show.
Deadline! Friday 15th	Finish setting up my allocated space in preparation for the end of year show.
