Movement and motion

Hi my name is Michelle Doyle, I am 19 years old and am in my first year in Limerick school of art and design.
This is my fifth week at college and this is my first blog I have posted. The first thing I did after getting the project title 'movement and motion' was made some mind maps so that I could get ideas for my project, I found that making the mind maps helped me as it gave me a starting ideas for the project. For the last couple of weeks I have been mostly working on my sketchbooks where I have been sketching ideas, taking pictures and looking up images on the Internet.
My idea that I seem to have settled on at the moment is the movement throughout the day in which I am looking at the day through the motions from when you get up to when you go to sleep.
                                    Although I have found my first few weeks of art college very interesting and exciting, I have also found the transition from school and the leaving cert which was very structured to college tough in that there is a lot less structure to college life and I have felt at times out of my depth.
                                  At the moment in my project I am taking pictures of my everyday movements and sketching. Last Thursday we also went to the Dublin contemporary exhibition and some other art gallery's I found this very interesting and also showed me that good art does not always have to be conventional and that the most important aspect of art is the ideas before the finished product. In the upcoming week I hope to try and incorporate different mediums such as sculpture into my project I also hope to post pictures of my work onto my blog.
