Gathered all the necessary material for the preliminary work and will post it off to my tutor.
The Course material was a surprise but at least there is a sense that I am going to be seen as a 3rd level student and that much more is left to myself both in the approach and subject matter. I am hoping to pursue a project centred around Fine Art Monochrome Photography but feel I need to establish in my own mind what is meant by the term Fine Art. I have therefore proposed to my tutor that I complete my critical review as my first 'assignment' as this should provide me with the necessary information.
I am also hoping that I will not have to go for a particular genre of photography at the beginning so that I can experiment with a number of genres to see which works best. It is important that I use this early phase not only to tackle those areas that I am comfortable with but also those that I tend to shy away from. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to explore more adventurous photography combining a number of styles within one image.
