The final days (where what where)

I'm freaking out about the fact I'm not freaking out. I'm apparently all sorted, very organised, final pieces complete and only sketch books to go but I just feel like I've missed something important because I'm not freaking out.



This is the order of my final pieces, I hope to photograph it going along the way instead of one under the other so that it flows better and takes your eye from left to right.

It is for my Integrated project, Where, What, Where.
So the first piece is where do I come from? It starts out with my family at the beginning of my timeline as obviously I wouldn't be alive without them. Then we follow the timeline seeing me at different stages of my life, aged 3, 6, 16, and 20 ( now).

The middle piece answers the question what am I? I decided that made me think of the labels I could place on myself as in the way I am seen and the way others see me. I stuck to only a few which were, ginger, student, artist, curious and weird. I wanted it to be a "selfie" as it was my views on myself, so it was to emphasize how it was my opinion on me.

And finally the last piece is where am I going? I had thought to focus on a wider future, what career I might have, what dreams I want to accomplish, but I was having trouble deciding what I could draw to depict these. So I decided on drawing people who I want to stay in my life into the future and the faceless people were to give a sense of mystery as there are people who I don't know, who I haven't met yet who will be a big influence in my life, and that was to represent them.

#4WEEKSTOGO!!

So after having a small panic attack over how little time is left I have been working on "to do lists" trying to work out what is left for each project/class.

PDP

The folder has to have the dividers clearly labelled/numbered for each section and block.
I want to label the polly pockets to say what is in each one.
I need to go through moodle to check if I have all the printouts necessary from both blocks.
Cut the corners of the polly pockets for easier access.


Integrated - Where, What, Where

I need to find 2/3 frames for my final pieces.
I need to find a printing place that goes up to A2 - Photobox is seeming like the best place
Then there is general sketchbook work and research still to be undertaken - photos to take, image transfer
Take photos of it on a wall in the final layout as it cannot be presented.
Statement for assessment 

Protest

Photo to copy for final piece.
Artist research into typography and protest art.
Buy the card to complete the final piece - picket sign
Get wood hopefully for free from the college - Spare wood from the work room.
Find a place to present it.
Statement for assessment

Contextual Studies

Re-draft essay for final draft by finding secondary sources to back up my claims.
Finalise pecha kucha for Friday for assessment - Bad stage fright.... Might die.

So yeah not too much but enough to make me panic due to the fact there is 4 weeks till most hand ins... Some on the same day as others...

Pray for me.
