Presentation 30th April

Our group decided to get together in the morning and plan what we were going to say. Only Vicky, Kerry and I turned up so in a way that made it easier to plan seeing as we had all been working together through out the project. I have no idea what some of the others have been doing as they haven't come to any of the meetings, so to do a group presentation would have been very difficult. At the same time though it was hard to plan as we didn't know if some of the others might turn up at the last minute and then we wouldn't know what we were doing. But we powered on anyway and planned it all out. When we got to the studio only about 3 people out of 8 from each of the 3 groups were there which is pretty bad but I wasn't surprised. The rest of our group didn't show up. First we talked about the work we had done as a group, the table top sale, the afternoon we spent filming with light and dark, and the group meetings, activities and guest speakers. Then we went on to talk about our individual work. It went really well and luckily the presentations were held in the room Vicky and I had been working in so all our work was already on the walls to present in front of. I have a tendency to hold my breath when I speak in front of a group of people, and then I have to stop and exhale, and then my face goes red, which is a little embarrassing. So today, as silly as it sounds, I was determined to breath through out the presentation. I think because we planned what we were doing, I know my work inside out, and I feel comfortable with Vicky and Kerry, I was a lot more relaxed and it went really well. I didn't go red either which is a bonus. The feedback from Mark, Helen and Artemus was really positive. I think they were pleased with the amount we have collaborated and our progression as a group. Mark thought my layering's were strong and that I could exhibit those if I wanted. I think I have enough time to develop further but it's reassuring to know I have those to fall back on. I told him about our plans to work with a projector next and he said that would be a good progression.
