This morning and afternoon we had Visual Literacy lectures - which turned out to be much better than i expected. To begin with Jan (the lecturer) explained how we should use the time as a form of expression through making marks on paper, and how we should make these marks with the confidence of a five year old. It turned out that we were 'discovering' what a large variety of ways there are to use different materials - e.g. a pencil/oil pastels/biro etc. We went out and did some frataging (effectively brass rubbing), as another form of making marks on paper. Then she told us to draw anger. This was really interesting because we put up all of the pictures on the wall afterwards, the range of expression was incredible, no two pieces even look similar. During the afternoon session we watched the first program in the genius of photography series - I have seen it before but it was still interesting. We then discussed some of the aspects addressed by the program, and were given three people to research for next week. All in all it was quite an interesting day - not in any way what I expected it to be.
