Today I had the first tutorial with Adele and the majority of the Spirit of the Sea group. We discussed various admin subjects like the schedule, any questions regarding budget, transport for the work placement etc which I found very helpful as I had a lot of questions that I wanted to clear up. We also clarified what we were aiming towards at the end of the prodject so that I will be able to start my research and development knowing I was heading down the right path.
Adele confirmed that we will not necessarily hand in a complete carnival costume but instead we will be handing in (in our own choice of medium) an 'idea' of our concept within one of the 7 sections , designs, any sample of experimentation or prototyping and maybe some sections of the costumes being made by the children during the work placements. This is not to say that I could not aim to create masks and tabards with the children but make a larger centre piece in the time I am not in Weymouth by myself.
I took alot from this initial meeting and it cancelled out and also fueled some of the very first ideas I had thought of. I will be able to narrow down and confirm the body of work I will be handing in once my learning agreement is complete. Also, through mood boards and brain storming each of the 7 topics, I hope to make a decision on the theme for my section of the carnival.
Me and Grace are planning a trip to the Marine Aquarium in Lyme Regis as it specialises in local marine life and the Jurassic Coast which is one of the 7 topics. This may help me decide if this topic is the right one for me but will devlop my ideas throughout all of the topics.
