Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success.''

A Bit More But Excuse the grammar guys!!
challenge the dominance of the artist, in no way did we consider this as an opportunity for commercialism but used the participation as an medium the results of which are the data. We find data from the art as oppose to producing art from data but a twist on this scenario is a further production of a visual from the collaborative exhibition at Space 109.
Ok am losing the will to live TBContinued tomorrow
Our exhibition opened to find the gallery filled with people all taking part in the work, this was extremely rewarding to see and supported our desire for participation in our work which in turn became part of the process towards an end product or result, it was exciting to see people genuinely seeming to enjoy the concept it reiterated our discussions about audience engagement and closed the space between artwork and spectator. The viewer is transposed from its usual status by not just being involved but takes on the role of completer as without the results of the exhibition the work cannot progress.This also brought to mind an artist we had uploaded onto the blog and the exhibition by Yoko Ono ‘Between The Sky and My Head’ which involved audience participation, sensitive works which
Adding to the blurb only an outline to be tweaked, just to get the bulk down
difficulties with communication and her not using the blog ended up close to deadline date without a venue, gathering for a meeting with our manager we had to take the issue into our own hands
With time being short we had to draw on organisational and imaginative skills, we had to consider every possible option from using outside space to libraries as we felt that using the white space at YSJ was taking the easy option. We found that more than one of us took on the role of completer finisher and we adapted to the pressures put upon us. We were finding more and more the practice of working together made us a stronger unit not wanting to let one another down in any way and a desire to work at our optimum level of achievement.
The good news came that we were indeed able to exhibit at Space 109, this is when we had to step up a gear which was a group decision and when the blog came into it’s own with images, flyers, programmes being designed we were able to keep in full contact with one another.
We delegated work amongst ourselves co-ordinating the work load so we all had a fair amount of work considering the logistics of other commitments maybe if Tara wants to mention something here about difficulties then ……..fill this space.
With only a few days left to exhibition invites were being sent out using virtual and paper methods, anxiety set in but we found that it was at different levels at differing times amongst us so we were able to support one another when needed. On exhibition day a group meeting first thing was the proverbial deep breath the calm before the storm other modules had to take precedence.
With our satisfaction that other work was finished we set off to Space 109, only one of us had seen the space previously so we wouldn’t know what to expect. with an all hands on deck approach we focused on what had to be done and did so with minimal commotion or fuss, proving that there was a good working relationship between us at a time when things could really become very stressful support from one another was again apparent.

Update
Hey guys on the way home Charlie and I were thinking that during presentation while someone was talking thir bit, the others of us could hold/reveal the colour of who was talking.
I think this could work if we were wearing black only, have a think and add/change. The more ideas we have the better. I will try to add more to the document tonight and post.

Leo: July 23 - August 22
Leo’s brightest star is Regulus, Latin for “little king,” which describes perfectly this sign’s approach to life. Leos are natural leaders and performers who expect the best from themselves and others. Like the sun, which governs this sign, Leos are warm-hearted, direct, and most comfortable being at the center of things. Luxury and comfort are considered necessities for a Leo, and are shared generously with friends. When their fiery temper is aroused, their “roar” can be deafening, but passes just as quickly with no lingering resentment. Proud and self-confident, Leos are excellent managers and entrepreneurs, and their energy and enthusiasm are a ray of sunshine to all.

Aries: March 21 - April 20
The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries symbolizes new beginnings. Arians tend to be aggressive and direct in expressing themselves, and are happiest when they can get something started and lead the way. Their key phrase is "I am." Ruled by the planet Mars, this fire sign is adventurous, impulsive and full of energy. When first meeting the "ram," one's impression is of someone who's exciting, vibrant and extremely talkative. Arians happily offer their opinions on any and all topics, naturally migrating toward the center of the action. When associating yourself with an Aries, you are destined for a wild ride, if in fact you can keep up with their pace.

Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21
Sagittarians are energetic and naturally outgoing, achieving each goal through positive thinking. These "archers" seek knowledge and wisdom and never tire of the quest for what is yet to come. Challenges keep a Sagittarian's spirit thriving, and once met, a target is set for the next goal, and the next. Astrologers believe that being born under this fire sign gives Sagittarians the gift of providence - that luck protects them. Under the jovial rule of Jupiter, they make for charming and agreeable companions. Their key phrase is "I see." Never dwelling on what has happened today, a Sagittarian constantly believes that something wonderful will happen tomorrow. Sagittarians have such a zest for life that they make you want to hang on with them and enjoy the ride.

star sign/ initial inspiration
Scorpio: October 24 - November 22
At the heart of the constellation Scorpius, the red giant star Antares burns with a fiery intensity matched by astrological Scorpio’s passionate temperament. Ruled by Pluto, Greek God of the Netherworld, Scorpio is intimately connected with the extremes of life, with beginnings and endings, conception and lasting legacies.As the sign of purpose and success, the dedication and drive of Scorpio is unmatched. Of course, if a Scorpio’s anger is aroused, or she feels out of control and disordered, the sting of rebuke will be unmistakable! Scorpios thrive in pursuits that require intuition and deeper understanding, including medicine, spirituality, and philosophy.

hey guys... thought id add the starsign research i did at the begginning :) having trouble uploading the pics i found that inspired me to paint all of your auras but i should get them on this aft...
Libra: September 23 - October 23
Libra, the only inanimate sign of the Zodiac, is ruled by Venus. Modern-day astrologers often view Libra as the most generous of the Zodiac because it represents the "Zenith of the Year," when the harvest of the spring's hard work is reaped. Because Venus is the goddess of love and beauty, Librans admire beauty in many forms, such as art, music, and even people. Librans are very likeable due to their captivating charm. Being an air sign, Librans are intellectual and continuously seek out knowledge and new ideas. Born under the sign of the Scales, their spirits thrive on balance and harmony and are most at peace when the world around them is orderly and serene.

linda montano
One of Montano’s most well-known performances is based on her personal interpretation of the yogic chakra system. This durational piece titled, 7 Years of Living Art + Another 7 Years of Living Art = 14 Years of Living Art lasted from 1984 to 1998. Working from root centre, to crown, then back down again, each year was dedicated to a different chakra. Wearing one colour per year – chosen to represent a given year’s chakra – she would meditate for a minimum of three hours each day in a room painted the designated colour and carry out the daily task of living with an underlined concentration on that year’s energy centre. Between 1984–91, at the New Museum in New York City, Montano provided art/life counseling and Tarot readings for one day out of each month in a gallery also painted that same colour. During the first three years, additional directives were imposed: Montano would speak in a specific accent (not her own) for twelve months at a time to everyone except immediate family and would listen to a single pitch for seven hours a day while meditating in her painted room. Eventually the last two vows were dropped, but the intention and devotion remained. At the core was a desire to live more consciously and in a state of constant awareness.The ensemble of her work is about living more spontaneously and fully, about locating internal balance and serenity, about centring attention, about finding a voice. Her “living art” manifesto not only proposes that “life can be art,” it also provides practical instruction on how to make “living art,” in order to achieve this state of focused intention and presence.

Hooray
Managed to change colours, but am seriously mushed in the head...none of it makes any sense any more
PIE!
The Pie charts look really good, the only thing i can thing of the get the colour right is to draw them, and colour them in...or save them as an image and play with them on facebook. How about this as a spanner in the clogs, we could use photoshop, and use on of our images, cut into the section needed for representing that colour......
Colours
Hey guys sorry the colour of the charts are not in the right colours maybe we can have a play around another time, but thought I'd get it done asap.
Hope its ok
Hope its ok
Results:) and presentation:(
Results are Fab, well done! We certainly have a lot to work with there. Speaking to people on the course that showed up last night, everybody is expecting a cracking presentation! I'm sure we'll give them one!
So number one issue, hw do we want to present the results......We could put them on a graph? one for each person?
Myself and clare were talking about presentation....whats the plan for meeting up and finishing...are we meeting up on Friday and sat? That will leave use monday to rehearse, and to get it really slick!
We thought that maybe we could spilt it up into
1) Blog - ideas -contextual
2) Teamwork and belbin roles
3)collaboration ( and further collaboration)
4)admin, budget (flyers, posters)
5) exhibition - result
6) engaging the audience
Are we planning to put stuff on tables? like personality boxes? Images in the windows?
Please comment? I think it's best that we start writing possible things to say up, and posting them on the blog!

todays meeting!
Thanks everyone for the hard work put in today, we climbed mountians today. I can't help but feel that Tuesday is going to be amazing. I can't say how happy I am to be working with all of you! A massive round of applause for you.
So thinking about presentation. I think that we should split it into sections,
Maybe prehaps:
Blog + Ideas
Team work and belbin roles
Organising the interactive 'exhibition'
Further collaboration (connie, joe and space 109) ?
Resolution?
And some kind of activity for the audience....
...... I like the idea of recording the presentation, and showing the images in time with the speech, do we think that this is feasable?
Lastly Thank you to Joe Beresford for working with us today, your help has been amazing!

Welcome back
Looking forward to meeting tomorrw I think things will really come together, I'll bing photo's ; artist statement; donations flyer; instrustions; words and a glass container (only one just to see it) we can adjust or tweak, anything else let me know.
For those who don't know Clare got a reply from Vanessa and Jane saying they would attend, great support from tutors I'd say, Helen said she would at lecture.
The main thing is getting the evening absolutly spot on......any input appreciated.
Last but not least:-

Party on!
Looks like Clare and Susanne have been having a party! Really well done guys, sorry i've been a bit absent of the blog! Will make up for it double on Sat :).
On thursday I spent a while chopping up some card, folding them in half, so we could attach mini instructions/programes in them, their looking goodm I got to about 80 before I gave up!
Looking forward to seeing everybody on Sat, Looks like everything is pulling to a close really well.
Is everybody keeping total on what they have spent? I think we should have an after exhibition meeting....probably ten mins out of our presentation meeting to make sure that costs have been spread equally.
I also think that after all of the assesments are done, we should arrange a big social night out :)
Have been thinking a lot about presentation. Will post some ideas a wee bit later on today.

What's next?
So what's next? What time are we meeting Saturday? If everyone can say what time's best for them, not too early, not too late for me, if thats ok, will bring everything along. What is happening with the paintings themselves, Bex hasn't come to pick them up, are they still being used, what shall I do with them?
Printed out some flyers for me to use, they look great, well done guys.

Thanks for doing the flyers, I have added our names to it, just in alphabetical order, as you can see no one else needs to bother but thought I may send kids round putting them through doors!! No harm in trying hey? Maybe seeing a name they know will bring them along.
I know Charlie said she was unable to get to computer until friday, not sure whats happening with Tara, Bex was going to pick up the paintings tonight for Connie's exhibition, I don't even know if it's still on not heard from Bex to know if she's coming.
Flyers
Yeah i will print them out A4 for around Uni. But A5 for flyers. I have just received emails back from tutors saying they will try to attend. :) looking good. Has charlie, bex and tara seen these posts?? What does everyone else think.
Flyers etc
I remember everyone saying that too, squares it is, they do look gr8, very glossy as intended.
If your putting flyers in uni, then maybe A4 more of a 'poster' I'll send out some flyers with Emz tomorrow and via email.
The invite is sorted now on facebook, well done, looks great, hope we have lots 'attending'
We can use the pink box I had as donations box, I have printed out the sign for that.
I just need to know whether groups of words or individual words need printing.
I think were on schedule, just get the invites out as many as poss.

Hey, i am also over excited as per usual. I have sent out a mass invitiation of our event on facebook so check it has gone through ok. I think i did it right.
I will print out some flyers today and i suppose i could stick one in the art block as well as in fountains?
I will also email the tutors to invite them along. Plus i'll sort out Jo something nice.
Any other jobs for today? I think the photographs should be cut to squares i think thats what everyone wanted. I seem to remember that.

I cannot sleep !!
Could Bex or Tara please change their word passionate for something else (although u both are)....Sexy maybe? that's a word we don't have and may well be interesting!
Although.....on second thoughts........... how does everyone feel about the use of one word describing two people it could be a red herring?
This of course is if the words are separate.....so......Should the 5 words be all together or separate little pieces?

So - I'll book you in for next Tuesday from 5 pm and I would love to come along!

Tara:
Strong
Feminine
Fun Loving
Passionate
Confident
Suits her, so I'll get those done and the rest, how many of each? How big?
I think A5 for the flyer, yes. Not too many needs to be done yet, more for the night really, when I see it I will copy and print some for me to hand around too, Thanks.
Oh yes have you invited tutors? Or will that be part of Facebook?

Flyers
Wow! the personal statement looks fab! I dont think you should change it or delete any! It is just right, it informs as well as explains everything fully.
In terms of the flyer i emailed it out but i never worked. So i will try again now as i have just got in. I'll do the flyer tomorrow, how many print outs shall i do in A5??
Thank you for gettinbg the boxes, keep all the reciepts and we will just 5th everything aswell as your ink cartridges. tara isnt on blog yet :( so it might be worth dropping her txts.
Is therre anything else to do?

Exhibition here we come!!!
I still don't have Tara's words I'll text her for them and will print out.......loads, any preference about the font/colour? I'll just do lists of words On A4 and cut up...its no prob....I just really want to get it done. Is that my finisher role kicking in......or am I just sad!!!
Am I not seeing facebook properly....got a message but no link or any sign of flyer, it's prob just me but better check.
I have done an artist statement, will copy and post, it is too long, I think, can everyone have a look and adjust, please please do!!......I can print and bring Sat....its kind of my personal deadline for all printing etc.
Thats great about Jo we will certainly put a donations box and would love her feedback.

Exhibition
no we don't have that type of money, i told jo i don't mind chipping in a little but she seemed ok about it being on the house. I also invited her if thats ok with everyone? I think we could have a donations box which states "we thank space 109 for exhibiting our work" please leave donations if you can etc.etc.
The flyer looks fab, i will send it out as a facebook invite, however only my friends will beable to see it, so i thinks its wise if we all do that separately to maximise the amount of people who see it. I will also print out the flyers tomorrow and start handing some around uni, my friends etc.
Well done susanne on the boxes, that is fab. Also mostly all of us have blogged our 5 words. How many copies of these are we printing? Enough so everyone in the room has one? That would equal out to quite alot but i will print some if needs be :)
EXHIBITION HERE WE COME!!

Space 109
Well we defo don't have that sort of budget, and seeing as were not 'selling' anything then I guess we'll have to have a bucket and maybe a whip round, and some wine and chocies for Jo.
If the venue is sorted then we should think get on with putting a time on the flyer and producing it, Emz will take some round college and give to her photography tutor.
I have the glass containers ....rectangle glass about 5 inches high..... 5 of them....txt Tara to let her know....not sure if she is still having probs getting on. Also got double sided sticky bits to attach foam boards to walls.
What do you think about instructions???? Shall I print them off A4 size?

Exhibition @ Space 109
Hi Clare
You could use the space from 5 pm - 10 pm - although the rooms are free in the morning until 12.30 if you needed more time.
I don't know if you or your colleagues have a budget for room hire? I suspect not! If that's the case I will give the rooms out rent free as a goodwill gesture but would hope that your fellow students, lecturers etc could possibly give Space 109 a donation? You'll have to get the bucket out to shake!
If you do have a budget then the 2 front rooms work out at £18 per hour,
I hope this is ok

Blurb
I think that sound great............so ..........that last piece should be inside as instructions......should we put another blurb as an artists statement just as a bit of professionalism? and just a little more on the flyer??
I have been thinking....what if we had our work in three sections ....firt bit, photo's mounted on wall........second bit 4 small photo's mounted above a table with the words and glass containers.....third section our boxes......it would spread things about, save putting up(and taking down) shelves and we could direct the blurb to each section.....ie artist statement .....instructions etc, just a thought.

Pop it on the flyer
Yeah that sounds ace! People will now know what to expect a little more on the flyer.
Flyer
"The use of a visual artifact became a part of the process and documentation turning the paintings into images was a significant choice as image is so often the facade we see when introduced to individuals, but it is the idiosyncratic layering of personality that makes us more than an image."
Can we see past the image ?
That could be something to put on the flyer?.....
Can we see past the image?
We invite you to help us investigate whether the very personal items we treasure can be paired up with our external persona?

Flyer...
Thats fab! Very nice blurb. What other things shall we add to the flyer? Do you think that is enough? The blurb you have ust written is short and sweet but very to the point. *THUMBS UP*
WooWoo
Hey that's fantastic she/you are stars........we'll have to get her something.
I'm on a bit of a roll, I've just typed out some blurb while everything is still fresh.......use some in the flyer or in the bigger blurb ....or not at all .......I can always put it in the presentation.
"This work has come from an investigation into identity, how we are perceived by others a dichotomy of characteristics juxtaposed against how we perceive ourselves.
With this as a starting point our collaboration of five artists began research individually and as a group to consider how we could involve others in our quest, complete strangers, friends and family.
After a discussion amongst ourselves, colour associations were made and thus the solution was paintings, not in any way intended to be masterpieces, rather a sketch in colour and texture an overall feel for one another’s personality. It was an introspective way of working and in the process, a route of discovery"

The flyer looks fab.........I wonder if it needs (in very small print) a little more about process or more about documentation.
Fine artists or Five artists......are we promoting ourselves too highly? Just want to get it right sorry!
Emz said she'll come along and go out on the streets with the flyers to get people in on the night....boyfriend in tow of course!!!!

Names etc
I don't think our names mean much ..to strangers at least........I meant on the flyers.......our names are on the blog...as contributers....does that count???
The print outs will be finished by Sat let me know how you all want them trimmed.........they are ever so slightly bigger than original, but I have tweaked them and they don't have lines, some colours are a little more intense tho, hope thats ok.

Ideas....
hmmm our names on the blog, i never though of that! Maybe we should have our names in small at the bottom? Are we making ourselves known when people walk in. Does it matter if people know our names??
I will finish the flyer tomorrow and will let you know asap if Jo gets back to me.
Fingers crossed.

Words
I think that 5 words seem enough, when you see them all written down, it could be too busy with too many words...ty for picking those....I think it'd be best for others to pick out words for each other, I could never do it for myself!!
Got a text from Tara she had no luck with containers, I'll go tomorrow and let you know.
As soon as we get the nod from Jo the flyer's, virtual or otherwise can go...they looked great btw.
Should we put out names on the flyer's....as the artists???

Words we are choosing
Hey,
No reply back from Jo yet but i'm sure tomorrow everything will be secured. How many words are we having for each box? did we say 5? or are we having every word?
My top five for susanne would be;
Kind Spirited
Down To Earth
Inspiring
Caring
Engaging.
Shall we have just 5 words or every word?

EXHIBITION SPACE
Hey,
Just finished my placement and spoke to Jo. She said it is fine to exhibit in Space 109 and invite people. Obviously the space needs to be looked after and any wall hangings we place in must be removed etc. She said she will trust me with the keys (which i was abit scared about hehe) She said to give her an email and she will arrange a time that we can have it for a few hours next week. I told her tuesday would be great and she said tuesday night. Ill will email her tomorrow to see if she is any further finding us a slot.
This is a definate exhbit!!

Yoko Ono
Talking of labels today reminded me of this piece by Ono at the Baltic, I loved it, for what it stood for but also aesthetically.
"Many of Ono's pieces exist first and foremost in the mind and in the realm of the imagination. The exhibition sometimes invites participation and involvement from the viewer, and if we choose it, a greater understanding of ourselves and our role to better determine our surroundings".

Exhib again!
Lol,
I was just reading Suzanne's post on 'testing' other people on each other's personalities, would you like me to arrange this for the exhibition, like a guest book/ comments pages?

Exhibition V.I.P
Hey guys,
This exhib' has been the biggest struggle to organise. Constantly being rejected by everybody i thinks has finally driven me mad so...... Here's the big idea. I am going to hold an 'open studio' type exhibition, right here at 105 Carr Lane! I hope nobody has plans for Bank Holiday monday, which is May 4th, this is the only free day i have over the next few weeks, so i hope it's ok for everyone else. I will be lingering around the studio most of tomorrow, don't want to post phone number on here, but you can contact me through Bex. Hopefully this will be a really fun day, with drinks and bbq food throughout the day, it'll be an open event so invite friends and family! Any work can be exhibited, so bring along any pieces you've got n want to flaunt!
Luv n stuff

Hi guys, just an update on stuff!! Nothing back from venues, feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. Spoke to someone yesterday she said Borders or Waterstones sometimes put up artwork, I am up to my eyeballs this weekend and won't get into town (one good bit... seeing Pink!! Yey!) if anyone is popping in .......?BTW the funny logo(ish) thing is me ...1, wanting to see colour on the blog and 2, utterly fed up with writing reports...give me an essay anyday!! (Its all the paintings blended together) Crap but colourful. lol!!
Charlie...do you want me to paint the sides of yours white seeing as I have them and you won't get back til next week?

Well done with placement.

Wed 22nd
That's great I will carry on with the photo's no worries about cost I have them here anyway, I usually pick them up cheaply when I can........don't expect them exactly like Polaroids tho!!!!
No reply from artspace....but got hold of Jo from Space 109 (sorted Hoardings placement first) then asked 'if she knew of a venue we could use' if were lucky she may know of somewhere if not at Space 109.
Does anyone remember the email that was sent to us all from York uni asking if we wanted to exhibit? I know it was for a specific exhibition and would not relate to us......but I think I'll email them later.....I will wait to see if I get anything back from Jo.
Do you mean paint the edges of the paintings white?

All sounds really good to me, you've been busy. like the personaltiy test idea too.
poloroids sound good, but work out how much its gonna cost on photo paper and we can share it.
i think for monday we do need to consider display. i think at this stage think the paintings maybe best displayed in no order. and a simple white strip edging them off.

Update
Just an update, have tried to get something sorted re: a venue. I have found the website regarding empty shop spaces but there is nothing in York, so don't worry about emailing Helen.
I have also emailed Artspace enquiring about a venue either there or asking if they can direct us, I have described the project and hopefully it will sound interesting I have only requested a few hours....thought it best to keep it simple.
I am meeting with a community artist Thursday morning and with mention out quest and see if she has some suggestions. I've been able to get hold of Jo Puller about the Hoardings placement yet so it may be a while before I get hold of her....maybe if Claire is seeing her you could ask??
Also (sorry if your not happy about this) I showed Emz all out work and actually it was great, she loved working out personalities and gave me the idea that it could also be a kind of personality 'test' with the audience making suggestions as to what personality matched the painting....I was really pleased the way she enjoyed the participation and think it could really work well with people we don't know!
Have started printing out the photo's but before I go on, wanted to check whether it was OK if i did them on photo paper ....the 'kind of' look like Polaroids with one white edge for writing on. Or would you prefer card????
I will need everyones paintings next time we meet if that's OK but will bring back Charlie's and Tara's.
Maybe we need to think about a frame or mount of some kind on Monday it could be easier if time is short to transport.
Keep in touch

What's next ?
Hi everyone, I am finally back, and raring to go, Charlie you mentioned something about meeting on Monday ...are we all able to do this? I can make it morning or aft.
If the booking of a venue is difficult did anyone see the email from Nathan about booking the 'White cube' ...it could be an option.
Not sure if Tara is having difficulty setting up, has anyone heard from her? I think she has all ou phone numbers ...if we meet Monday I/we can text her.
I have sorted my canvasses but am in the process of the box project....it will be ready ...promise!!
So...is everyone able to make Monday......as a starting point I could suggest a time and place.....Art block...11am ??
Only a suggestion to get the ball rolling.

Personality Tests
I did the third task Charlie did. These were my results. Your score: 20 out of 20Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20. If you scored 18 - 20: You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.
If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.

display
was wondering if maybe one way we could display our work as a dynamic form that reflects in someway our group dynamics?
"its beauty that captures your attention but personality that captures your heart" Anon
Ok i admit this is rather sentimental. but thought about the idea of inner beauty which isn't normally physically visable however we have taken our perspectives of each other internally and articulated them visually an inward portait which is in many ways is a far more scary thought than the temporality captured in a photograph. if that light hits us wrong, we have stretch marks, or cellulite visuable on a thigh or even just bad hair although perhaps embarassing these things are more or less in our control and we can control how people see us with clothes make up lifestyle choices and banning of comera's in our presence but to control or personality is almost impossible. so i'm more scared to see my personality in painted techni-colour then if i was nude in heat magazine! (well almost i think you get my point)

Exhibition.
So i've finally figured out how to work this thing out!
Right I've got a couple of things i need to let you guys know!
Firstly and probably most importantly, i'm having a few issues with finding an exhibition space, i've tried a few private galleries but unfortunately nobody seems to be interested, i guess thats a problem when your a student...nobody seems to give a damn!
I'm still being persistant though, I've got a few options there, i was wondering if anyone else had any ideas...
Other things being was I need to know what kind of work you guys are wanting to exhibit, sizes amount and what sort of space you are going to need. Is there a day you've all got free that we can meet up and discuss so i know exactly what to look for and obviously promote.
Gimme a mail on conifertree88@hotmail.co.uk, or give bex a ring and i wont be far away!
See you all soon

Personality Tests
I guys in a lack of finding any useful art i've been looking into the aspect of personality, found the following three tests i found interesting:
Myers Briggs personality:
Extraverted (E) 89%
Intuitive (I) 77%
Feeling (F) 70%
Judging (J) 55%
these were my results its at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science
The second one i found is an art / personality test that is supposed to identify the sort of art you like an decuce aspects of your personality:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/survey/art/d.shtml
Apparently i like Japanese UKiyo- e art
i also scored high in all the following:
extraversion
agreableness
intellectualism
emotional inteligence
the third test i took is made up of several smaller ones relating to gender.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml
this one said i was quite balanced in male and female brained,
except i am a very high empathesiser
i'm also left brained, could be why i talk too much
hope you find these interesting

Minimalism
This is one of the very many minimalist structures, but it gives you the idea.....despite the fact we are painting the construction of the finished collaboration started me thinking about minimalism, and how we are thinking about presenting ...without the hierarchical pomp.....involving our audience....allowing to touch.....highlighting the viewer/voyeur concept.
Amongst the minimalists were Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Dan Flavin...to name a few ...they all took part in an exhibition in 1960's called Primary Structures and was a turning point in how art was viewed and exhibited.
I thought that despite the fact we are painting a feminine thought provoking illusion, there is a grounding in the finished piece being an interactive construction rather than just a decorative vision!

Piet Mondrian
Mondrian used straight lines and primary colours , to banish 3D and curved shapes, in order to create the 'perfect composition' and 'balance'."his aim was to create an objective art of disciplin whose laws would somehow reflect the order of the universe. The pure line and colour highlights the painting's connection to the De Stijl movement of which he was a member"
(The Art Book, Phaidon Press Limited, london, 1994)
"Mondrian's paintings are not composed of perfectly flat planes of color, as one might expect. Brush strokes are evident throughout, although they are subtle, and the artist appears to have used different techniques for the various elements." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piet_Mondrian)
I wanted to look a bit closer at his personal life to see if it had a direct affect on his work! The work is very neat, structured, and some what obessive within the straight lines, and not crossing the borders! I did find some articals, (that I had forgotton to reference) that pointed to the fact that he was an Obessive Complusive, which for me make a lot of sense!
As I get further and further into this study, it is becoming more and more apparent the links between stuff like OCD, or personailty disorders.....and the way that it is applied directly within artworks!

Willem De kooning!
This is in relation to Mark Rothko, De Kooning's paintings started, well not colourful, but not dark, you can trace this descent into poverty in the 20' and 30's because of the change in colour, shape and form. (to poor to buy fine quailty artists paint, he used household black and white enamels You can also see the effects of alzheimer's within the colours used...
A biography of his life can be found on this website http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/willem-de-kooning/
I think that you can see the difference between his earlier work, and the work that he made whilst living in poverty, the black painting is called "Black Friday" .
I'm starting to really understand the strong link between an artists personal life and the way that they go about making art work. It could be interesting to look at some past work that we've done and try to link it up to times in our lives, and what they represent to us.

Process
Hey guys, just thought i'd blog how far i am with my canvasses. I have painted all four but need to ad layering and glue. Im guessing im nearly done. My palette now looks like this and has caused me grief today cleaning it :). Hope all is well for all of you and i hope to see photographs of the canvasses soon!
Enjoy
More about Libra
Libra’s refined sensibilities are seen in artistry of all forms. Social and diplomatic, Libra can be highly impartial. As the Cardinal Air sign of the zodiac, Libra represents the need to initiate relationships and make connections. Yet Libra can also be distant, inconsiderate, and conceited. Symbolized by the Scales, Libra strives for balance and harmony, but is sometimes caught in indecision. Libran energy tends toward a high degree of logic and consideration, but can also be expressed through placating or argumentative attitudes. Ruled by the planet Venus, Libra is continually judging the value of everything. Libra knows there are two sides to every story, and when called upon to mediate, can be an exceptional arbitrator. Where you see Libra in the chart, there is a need for harmony, beauty, and refinement.

Leonardo Cremonese
This painting by Cremonese involves using oil paint on linen. Born in Brazil, Cremonese then moved to Sydney where he has been exhibiting work since 1991. His bright colours are inspiring and striking attracting the audience further into his work. He use of application is apparent in all of his works which creates a texture which is very unique. I like his loose and experimental feel throughout his work.
Mark Rothko
When Rothko started his colour field paintings they were radiant and bright progressively getting darker as he continued to progress to the point where he was producing black/grey and just black paintings at which point he committed suicide!! So moral of story......Don't paint Black!!
But to the point, Rothko's paintings are very intense...huge fields of colour which draw you into them....ie audience engagement. He built up layers of thin paint which evolved into a luminous vision on huge canvasses.
"Rothko, however, generally avoided explaining the content of his work, believing that the abstract image could directly represent the fundamental nature of human drama. For him, eschewing
representation permitted greater clarity, the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea and between the idea and the observer."
I think that last statement is useful in thinking about how we will display and engage an audience in our colour works.

Gerhard Richter
"Gerhard Richter (born Dresden, 1932) is one of the world’s greatest living artists. Since the early 1960s he has tirelessly explored the medium of painting at a time when many were heralding its death. He has produced a remarkably varied body of work, including photography-based portrait, landscape and still-life paintings; gestural and monochrome abstractions; and colour chart grid paintings. In autumn 2008, the Serpentine presented 4900 Colours, a major new work comprising bright monochrome squares randomly arranged in a grid formation to create stunning sheets of kaleidoscopic colour.4900 Colours comprises 196 square panels of 25 coloured squares that can be reconfigured in a number of variations, from one large-scale piece to multiple, smaller paintings. Richter developed a new version especially for the Serpentine Gallery exhibition: 4900 Colours: Version II, formed of 49 paintings of 100 squares.
4900 Colours is in the context of Richter’s design for the south transept window of Cologne Cathedral, which replaced the stained glass that was destroyed in World War II. Cathedral Window, unveiled in August 2007, comprises 11,500 hand-blown squares of glass in 72 colours that are derived from the palette of the original medieval glazing."
I guess in a way we are exploring a similar concept.....a painting derived from a palette of our own colours?...Maybe!
Gerhard Richter
This was a painting i found by Gerhard Richter. He has come up in our group conversations many times which made me look into his work a bit more. I love his style and technique and i want to adopt the texture of his paintings within mine. Obviously he uses many colours which unfortunately is against our group rules. However, i like his work and feel it is a great technique to adopt. Sorry about the size of this image i clicked small but its being funny!
Cy Twombly
I am as always drawn to Cy Twombly's work and given that we are going to be painting it is a good excuse to look at his work again. Also his work is driven by humanity and the perspectives of!!! I.e. painting perspectives! I certainly agree with you Claire about the aura paintings, and am not keen, but as you say it seems to be the way painting portrays human aura's ...which makes me want to keep well away from that approach. I am inclined to take my lead from Twombly and work towards an introspective...but not.... nostalgic, romantic view ofhuman .....or in this/our case..... a feminine perspective.
This particular work (The Rose) is his latest...currently (which I why I used these images) at the Gagosian London.
Twombly works subjectively and I think with a subtlety not found in other, more renowned abstract expressionists of his time who err on the side over dramatising.
Well....that's just my opinion!!

Identity ....
I've just found this website : http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity/ This paper looks at the concept of Identity from a philosophical point of view, it's quite wordy, but goes into lots of depth and different ideas!
Another idea that I've just had about the whole concept of Identity, came when I just typed Identity into google and it cam up with a web site on how to cope with Identity theft....I could feel my brain starting to kick into gear.....what a cool idea would it be if we had eough time to do this......we could attempt to swap our indenties with someone elses in the collaborative group, it could be an interesting thing to experiement with........
It's Identity theft in a completely different way! Think about it, when you hang out with certain people you may pick up or relflex parts of their personailty, with out even thinking about it. It's a fairly safe bet for me to say that everybody on this blogg knows someone who cheers them up with their cheery nauture, or someone that sets you on edge because of certain types of behaviour!
Anyway, have gone off on a complete rant, will try to post more constructive things from now on!

I've just been having an interesting read up on the internet on Auras, so i thought I'd just copy and paste some of the websites up and you can have a poke yourself!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aura_(paranormal) interesting overview, but not to be relied on, due to Wikipedias nature!
http://www.reiki-for-holistic-health.com/auracolormeanings.html this one has colour defintions, could be handy.
http://skepdic.com/auras.html just plain funny!

One more....
This piece is another which popped up in my research. I am posting it on here because this to me is a typical aura painting. Is the aura a circluar shape? That seems to be a popular choice when painting auras. I don't particularly like this painting but i think its good to establish what i don't want to achieve when painting my group's auras. As a group have decided to establish one colour within our paintings which looks more closely at personality as opposed to this piece.
Artist's Work
This was a painting i found of an artist who paints peoples auras. The artists name is Michael Puya. The colours and strokes are subtle yet striking. I like the light pastel shades which create a mystery within the painting. This is a starting point to look at when painting my group members auras.
The Box idea
delving into our identity further, by the week of the 13th we shall create as a point of discussion a box containing objects that reflect our personalities. there is no limit to the size of box or the amount of objects (within reason) (approx.. shoe box size) these will hopefully form a depth to our work and an developing collaboration conceptually.

Collaborative Practice Rules
You must use the predominant color of each person including shades of this color, with only 5-10 % trace of another color.
You must not use the following materials, packets , text or anything recycled.
As a guidline only we have dicussed the use of textiles incuding beads buttons threads and safety pins.
The main media shall be paint with up to a 30% inference of another media type
No artists signatures on the front as yet as we are all part creators.
On the back of a single piece write who it portrays and who created it.
If we individually have ideas relating to the project they must be discussed at least via the blog before execution.
These canvas will be finished and presented to each other by they 14th of April

The Beginning of Painting Perceptions
Hello,
Five of us are about to embark on a collaboration looking into how both people are perceived and perceive themselves through the chosen medium of painting. This will act as a spring board for our ideas to develop and isn't prescriptive or restricts us to any particular paths we want to take. The essence of our work is the focus on how well we collaborate together. Our group is formed through friendship and complementing Belbin Team Roles. The five main artists of this project are as follows;
Bex Earley - Plant
Charlie Barnes - Resource Investigator, Shaper
Clare Nattress - Implementer, Resource Investigator
Susanne Davies - Completer Finisher
Tara Brown - Co-ordinator, Shaper
We welcome all thoughts and input into our project.
