Last week, I asked you to write a list of ideas in your course notebook for the Christmas Fund Raiser, along with a list of what you would need to accomplish your ideas. If you know the costs involved, make a note of this, too, and you'll be slightly ahead of the curve.
Enjoy your visit to the Botanical Gardens this week! Be sure to collect brochures, literature, and make notes on specific artists (with contact details if available) whose work you admire. You may use these details for a future assignment (informational interviews) where you will approach an artist/designer to find out about their professional experience. Right now, you are simply collecting information. The more you gather on artists working in a direction you can see yourself going, the better this process will go for you. Put all of this information in your notebook, or a folder you use for this class.
Next week, our focus will be on progression aims. On the links sidebar to your right, you will see a number of sites dedicated to furthering your professional or educational goals. Select at least five sites from the list below, which apply to your specific goals. Make notes in your course notebook, and bring it in next week so we can discuss your findings.
- Keirsey.com (personality assessments)
- Scholarships.com
- Qualifax (course database)
- Enterprise Ireland (small business support)
- Craft Council of Ireland/England
- Creative Ireland
- Creative Careers Ireland
- Visual Artists Ireland (support for visual artists - a must-see)
- Crafts Council of Ireland
- Career Path Online
Take care, and see you next week!
