Every Way Out Workshop

For the past week we'd to attend a workshop in Sullivan's Key it was great to be in a group where people were from different backgrounds such as architecture and fine arts. I met a lot of really nice people and working in a group with them was an enjoyable and good learning experience.

However I felt that I fell behind with my other modules including media project as most people there except for our group and one or two more fine art students were 4th years and everyone else was third year students. I felt that we lost out on time with our college course but also did gain good group working experience with the workshop

My initial thoughts

I would like to take on a more creative role in the project such as photography, animation, design or audio. I feel my strongest skill is in artistic areas and i would like to develop these skills. As for subject or concept i am interested in fashion, nature, music, dance, human psychology and art. At the moment I am brainstorming ideas and concepts i am interested in. Then each of us in the group are doing the same and trying to decide on a concept through common interests or maybe gel our ideas together.

I will be posting mind maps of the concepts i am interested in over the next few days.
