This weeks exercise is about following the inspiration that someone else gives you through positive feedback on your work.

This weeks exercise may take you anywhere. Use your creativity to interpret and inspire you. Based on Peter Reynolds famous book, ‘the dot’.

In this weeks exercise we take a key word or words from last weeks journaling exercise on observation, and turn that into the title of your project. We will work on this mini project for three weeks.

This weeks exercise centres around the art of observation. Spending 36 minutes observing, followed by time documenting your observations with words.

This weeks exercise goes for three weeks whilst Len is away on workshops. We explore the work of Uta Barth, and work indoors, over time, with something we know rather well.

The next few weeks of exercises are going to be inspired by famous in challenging quotes from photography. We welcome all interpretations of the quote. This week we will start with Ernst Hass

Three weeks of exercises around creating collages with your photographs.

This week we continue to explore joiners. Only this week they have to be made with physical prints.

This week we give everyone the opportunity to extend their learning from last weeks exercise and see where it can possibly go now.

In this weeks exercise we are going to explore David Hockney’s Joiner Photographs.

In this weeks exercise we embrace chance and working to a beat. A way of exploring improvisation in our work.

With Len being on the road over the next few weeks he thought it would be nice to do a little mini project. This is a great project starter, with a check in and feedback after the first fortnight. And then a follow up in a months time.

In this weeks exercise Len asks us to show us what is important to us. Which thing is the most important to you? Do you express that through your art? Which art subject is most important to you. This follows on from Len’s presentation about his abstract trees.

Did you watch the presentation on David Hockney? Be inspired by his art to play with his joy of colours.

Teach the rest of the group a technique. This will help you understand you technique better, as one of the best ways to understand what you are doing is to explain it to others.

In this weeks exercise we explore digital simulations of photography techniques. Sharing with each other the software we used.

In this weeks talk we explored how to engage with artworks in art galleries. In the matching exercise we encourage you to visit an art gallery, or to just include an artwork in your photography as part of the composition.

Art is a mirror. All photography is a mirror, self portraits as Minor White says. This week we explore what your art is showing you. Once we post the work we can ask what it shows others and talk about this in class.

In this weeks exercise we explore John Szarkowski’s idea that photographs can be mirrors about the photographer or windows to our world.

In this weeks exercise we explore the notion of self portraits and intentionally make photographs that are clearly mirrors about ourselves.
