A long time has passed yet again since my last blog post. Yet again, life and general busyness has overtaken me. Last year, feeling a bit down and kind of like my life was spiralling away from me, I decided on the spare of the moment to apply to do a Masters degree in Art History. There are times when I just get random ideas in my head, and I decide to act on them, and this was one of these times. So, I decided on an MA in Art History and Curating at a local university; that was almost a year ago now, and as a part-timer, I'm just about to embark on the second year of the course.
Today, I've just handed in my latest assignment, a portfolio based on the work experience module I finished last month in the decorative arts department. Phew!! I sweated blood and tears over this one. How glad am I to finally get it in. But now with my renewed interest and knowledge in art and art history, I hope to feature a lot more about this in my blog, assuming anyone is interested.
So far on my MA course (in case anyone is interested in doing this course in the future) I've studied;-
Issues in Modern Art
Contemporary Curating
Work Placement and associated Portfolio.
This coming academic year, which starts next week I think, I will be doing
Museum Studies
Dissertation. (I've yet to decide what to do my dissertation on.)
Well I cant say it's been easy, but it has been stimulating. I'm a firm believer if you don't use it you lose it, especially when talking about the grey matter. Fingers crossed I get a decent mark for this latest assignment. Here's hoping!
