Module Description

Here is a look at the task i have been given for this terms work.

Project Brief - ‘Docksiding’
AprilFest is UEL’s 2012 annual celebration of culture, creativity and performing arts. Your brief is to produce an artwork for the festival, which will take place in the week of 23rd-26th April, 2012.
The focus of this year’s project is the Royal Docks and dockside at UEL’s Docklands Campus. Using ethnographic fieldwork, archaeological and archival research methods you will explore and map the life and history of the docks - recording the manifold stories, histories and uses, both historical and contemporary. You will apply this research and fieldwork to the creation of an artwork which responds to the docks. Integral to the brief is your interaction with a community that you will identify and work with - this could be the UEL Docklands staff and students, or another group that you find during your research process. The only restriction is one of location: your community must interact in some way with the Royal Docks and dockside. There are no restrictions to the form that your work can take, but it must be developed in response to, in collaboration with, or for that community, and be realised or sited on or near the dockside.

You will submit a project proposal in week 5 (24^th February, 2012) outlining your approach and intended outcome, and deliver your project as part of AprilFest during the week of 23^rd 26^th April, 2012.

CW1 Project Proposal   30% - Submitted in week 5 (Friday 24^th February 2012)

Your proposal will outline all of the key elements addressed in weeks 1-4, acting as a blueprint for how you will undertake your project.  Please complete the ‘Public Project 1 Project Proposal Form’ on UEL+ and submit to the SED.

CW 2 Project Portfolio 70% – Submitted in week 13 (Friday 4th May 2012)

This document will provide evidence of the through-line of engagement from the conception of your project, through planning and delivery to evaluation. Your portfolio will be in the form of a blog.

This looks like fun!

Introduction to Public Project 1

Hello And Welcome to my UEL Project blog!!!


This is my first Public project of my first year at UEL and today's introductory lesson has showed me some insight into what the first steps will be as part of the assignment, I will be adding pictures, video and anything that helped me along the way to show you how it all came together.

Today's lecture focused on an understanding of what the module contains such as; the process of our work, the recommended readings and the coursework (this blog). the module guide itself provided lot of information which helped me to get a greater understanding of what we'll be doing in our own time and in our weekly lessons.
