I would like to take advantage of the lighter evenings and go out as a group and take some landscape/cityscapes at the beginning of next weeks class. We will then review the work that you have done over the last few weeks for assignment 4.

Here is a slightly cheesy shot that I took last week in Brittany.

As I mentioned in this weeks class, it would be great to have some examples of  pictures you have taken during the course for the blog but also for course publicity. Please email me some examples so that I can send them to the ICIA over the next week.

Thanks

Nigel

For copyright reasons this Blog is bereft of images. There has been some great work produced during the course and it would be great to see examples here. I can also link to your website or Flickr site from the blog.

Some of you have given me your photos to show the ICIA but I think I need separate permission to show your pictures here.

Please give generously.

Hi everyone,

I hope you managed to find some sun this ’summer’ and are rejuvenated and ready for the autumn. The ICIA at the University of Bath (my new employer) has just announced the new programme  of courses. Unlike recent years under the Lifelong Learning department these will be heavily promoted particularly within the University and so I am expecting the courses to fill up quite quickly. The courses are also cheaper than last year.  For more information go to the ICIA Website http://www.bath.ac.uk/icia/classes/

All the best

Nigel

Some of you will have recieved e-mails from me about some positive developments with respect to photography classes. I cannot say much more right now but I will e-mail anyone who has asked to be kept up to date, I will also post any news here on the blog.

WATCH THIS SPACE

All the best

Nigel

This is quite good news, we have been allowed to show student work at the end of the courses. The format is more of an open day so probably no wine etc and it will finish at 7pm but it is still a great opportunity to celebrate the great work that has been produced during the courses. This exhibition will be in addition to the mini show at the end of the portfolio course.

I have pasted the e-mail I received from Sam Evans which details the times dates and how to identify your work

Dear Nigel

A decision has now been made to hold an Exhibition so I am e-mailing to ask whether you would be interested in arranging an Art Exhibition with your students to show their work at Carpenter House (similar to December’s exhibition). The date proposed is Thursday 8 May 08 (the last art course finishes on Wednesday 7 May). Carpenter House would be open for people to come and view the exhibition from 3pm until 7pm as an ‘open day’.

Please can you let me know whether you would like to go ahead with the exhibition.

If there is enough interest I will arrange for some exhibition stands to be delivered to Carpenter House on Wednesday 30 April so if you can give me an idea of how many you need that would be a great help plus you could use the wall boards as before (the boards will be available from this date for you and your students to arrange the work).

Students should be made aware that they would need to collect their work by 5.00pm on Thursday 15 May as Carpenter House will be closed for a few weeks after this date. Also, can I ask that students are reminded to put their names either on the back of their work or near their work so we can easily identify it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks

Sam

Here is the next assignment for anyone who missed this evenings (1/4/08) class. You have two weeks for this one.assignment-4.pdf

I think there has been a lot of good work done during the first half of the course as well as some very strong pictures submitted for the last assignment which we didn’t have time to look at properly in the class. I would therefore like to use this week’s session to talk about what you have all been doing for your assignments or extended projects.

See you on Wednesday.

Nigel

If you would like to see your work on the blog or link to a Website or Flickr account send me a link or the pictures and I will try to put them up over the next few weeks.

There is a petition on the Downing Street Website where people who are concerned for the future of lifelong learning and adult education can voice their concerns.
