Jonathan Danners

You seem to have mastered 2D for this assignment.

Jem Badhuri

Yes, phew! I hope we get to do some proper construction for the final project. I’d love to explore salvaged materials.

Alyson Lang

Gela says a keypad will be in place when we get back from the Christmas break. It’d better be.

Jem Badhuri

Interesting what Gela was saying about building a team, so we each have different responsibilities for the final project. Can we choose what we do?

Patrick Bright

Was wondering this myself. Don’t want to be landed with tasks I’m not able to perform and letting the whole team down. But I spoke to Gela and she assured me she’ll give us each a role that suits our skillsets, but also stretches us, so we learn.

Ludya Parak

I can’t commit huge chunks of time. Personal reasons.

Jem Badhuri

Gela decides? OK. Thanks, Patrick.

Hi Gela,

Patrick said you choose who gets to do what for the final project.

I would like to put myself forward for the role of project manager. I may be the youngest, but I’ve been an artist for longer than either Jonathan or Patrick and my youthful outlook means I can connect with a younger audience, which is usually what advertisers want, according to Cameron.

I approach obstacles with a can-do attitude and I get on with everyone. The final project is for a company that makes parts for radios, which I’ve been listening to my whole life. I am very aware of the other personalities on this course and what their limitations are. Ludya is chaotic and lazy, unless she’s being paid. Alyson is good, but she knows it. Jonathan really should have chosen a beginners’ course. Patrick is a nice man, but lacks energy and direction. Cameron is probably going to leave the course anyway.

My dad is very generous. He helped fund the degree show at West Middlesex, where you saw my work for the first time and asked if I wanted to apply for this MA. Seems so long ago now! I know he’ll want to donate something to Royal Hastings’ art department too.

Happy to chat after tomorrow’s session.

Jem
