It's a biggy. None of my work so far counts (it's just important that I passed it all). It's on this project that my final mark will be based.
I had a good chat with Duncan as I feel I've rather lost my way, trying to paint pretty pictures, and so am feeling not very confident as my ability as an intelligent, creative person.
He suggested I tap into my more 'political', thought-led side (not that I'd say boo to a goose normally where politics are concerned) and also said I shouldn't underestimate my ability as a maker. Ha! My bird did impress after all.
But he was right. I'm happiest when doing something that I feel has a purpose and teaches somebody something.
So, given that an ongoing interest throughout my time on this course has been the Palestine/Israel crisis, that's what I'm going to look at the focus for my project.
And if you want to know why it's so important, watch this:
