ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM
Craig Mulholland
20 September - 21 October 2012

Launch Night 20 September 6-8pm

Notes taken on the day on I-Phone:

Initially i felt scared looks like a ghost or someone trying to tell you something but is either frightened or struggling to do so.

Finger prints look very forensic like a murder scene or something! The sporadic locations also quite unnerving as there is not pattern.

The words on the boards look angry, written in red bold characters, shouting. As they're on projector screens which are used to communicate to audience this coneys to me someone trying to get a message out. 

The exhibition itself is like a classroom somewhere where a lot of us maybe felt constricted or controlled! The artist here looks like he is trying to fight against this! 

Dragging fingerprints portray to me someone trying to drag themselves away or maybe even escape from the conformities of society, represented here by the classroom! 

Week 1 Summary

Well week one is done and dusted ... as its only been Induction week I'll do a wee day by day summary of whats happened... Easier that way!

Monday:
Well after everyones initial shock at my age turns out I have been put with some lovely, like minded people. This is a huge relief!

Do feel slightly as though we are in Big Brother, we are so different its untrue.. all only sharing the passion and drive to complete our Art Degree. It is almost as though we are an experiment, put together to be watched, documented and analysed by our peers for some random Higher Educational Art based Psychology project.

Tuesday:

Hangovers everywhere, despite common belief that this is the season for the common cold. The stories from Freshers week are definitely making me glad to be "Mature!"

Wednesday:
More introductions to departments... people and the joys of Admin. Still no sign of picking up a pencil!

Thursday:

Friday: 

All I can report today is that we won a quiz, and told our project groups for next week!

Looking forward to next week like you wouldn't believe...

Welcome

Welcome to my blog...

I hope to use this to diarise and log my life as a Fine Art student.....  and aspiring Artist..... Everything from exhibitions, events, classes, personal learns and experiences.

Might take some time to get going but start classes next week so lets see where that takes me.

Wish me luck!

Peace and paintbrushes..... Lisa x
