Tuesday 6th December 2015

During my group tutorial yesterday afternoon, my tutor suggested that rather focusing on knots and the beach, I should or could think about doing something which relates more to what I want to do do post uni. He said he did not want me coming out of uni with a load of work that is going to be hidden under my bed for ten years they thrown away.

I do see his point and think it would be really interesting if could bring teaching into this project. He suggested that I focus on this ideas of craft and passing on of technique or style to keep forms of art revived, that I do this through the creation of lesson plans which show how you can teach art/textiles and how art/textiles can be integrated into other areas of the curriculum to make them a little more interesting. 

I do really like this idea, but I have a dilemma. Either I stay doing what I had planned and intended to Do, or I take on the challenge, which I think I will enjoy a great deal more. The only thing which is preventing me from deciding is all the uncertainty. I would love to create the lesson plans, but do not quite see how they would fit the learning outcomes for the project, I don't want to mess up this year, especially when very soon I could have the prospect of a teaching course, which you need a certain degree level for. 

Ahhhhhh... I have a lot to think about over the next couple of days. I think the next step for me is to think more about the learning outcomes and how I could get it to work, and talk to other tutors and teachers in the school I help out in to see what they think, and whether it is something I could do.
