I walked to Margate today and handed out cvs and asked about work placements. I'm hopeful that I can get a placement in time. I just have to wait and see if anyone will take me.

I walked down to castle arts with Lynsey to ask about work experience again. When talking with them, I found my e-mail I had sent went straight into the spam box, which is why they didn't contact me. The owner wasn't there at the time of our visit but we both gave our CVs to them. Anna suggested we ask for work experience together as it would only be a weeks inconvenience of having us. But there might not be enough work for the both of us to do.
I continued painting, I am still noticing colours I didn't pick up on when I started mixing the colours so I was adding new ones.
We had a mini tutorial on making portfolios, and I need to get a nice looking folder, some plastic wallets, and select some work that I want in it. Also with my qualifications, and CV.

Jake decided it would be a good idea to wear this thundercats top to show the clear resemblance of the symbol I painted in. It is strange the way humans try to find patterns that are recognisable in abstract shapes. Once I have painted this painting to the middle I am going to re-paint these parts and remove the various animals other colleagues have pointed out.


I decided with this painting, I would paint into the middle with the base colours instead of going straight in with the wax medium as I did have some trouble with the canvas showing underneath.


I left the blue part as I am going to paint it when the surrounding is dry as to not contaminate the blue.
I was also debating if I was going to make the blue part raised up with the wax medium. I am tending to lean towards keeping it flat, and making the oppisite side raised up.



I brought my laptop in today and typed my minuets straight into the computer. I also set up a video camera so film the meeting with the BA. I think I am going to use the footage to make a DVD for everyone as a record of what we have been doing for the show.
In the evening I formatted the notes. I also edited the other minuets too so they all had the same formatting with all the abbreviated names were in bold. I copied the html, pasted it into notepad, EDIT>REPLACE I then typed in the initials I wanted to change, then I replaced them with the html code that would make them bold.



I walked down the castle arts and had a look around the gallery, I also inquired about work experience. I need to find the dates that I can work for 5 days. I also need to send an e-mail with my CV in.
