3rd April - 7th April 2017

This week, I have been visiting the L.T Gallery in Weston, which was a gallery completely dedicated to one artist's work, 'Lorna Bryce', who has been painting landscapes from her youth. I quite like her work due to the strong pigments and how they create a dynamic atmosphere. I also like her work because she has managed to put so much detail to the landscapes as well as making her work very expressive and full of life. I might consider using her work as I get further into my project because I might look at different promotion methods for Weston.

I have established that I need to start researching into the town's promotion methods as well as putting detail into my branding research.

I have decided to make an accurate plan for my project after going through a group discussion about the grading criteria; it talks about planning and preparation, which makes me aware of my organisation and planning.  Making a plan has proved to be more effective as I was unaware of what stage I needed to be at. According to my plan, the ten week project included the holiday time (Easter), which means I need to spend my half term effectively. I should be at the experimentation stage by the time I come back from the Easter holiday because I would have only five weeks left until my project needs to be completed. 

I have also fixed the demographics of my survey by allowing older ages groups to answer my survey; sharing my survey on Facebook limits the age groups that are able to answer my survey. I have printed out my survey and handed it to the learning support office with the University Campus, Weston College as well as the Weston Conservative Club (where I work), which allows me to gain data from working ages as well as pensioners.

Additionally, I have also looked back at my research and decided to go around the boundary of Weston Super Mare's centre and take photographs as well as observations, which allows me to observe any key features or characteristics.

Next, I am going to annotate my research and start researching artists and branding.
