I feel like I've been a bit whiny lately in this blog. Math and Art has been the first majorly challenging thing on this course, and it's really quite easy stuff. Part of it is my lit review mis-step. The essay/practical looks somewhat daunting now as I don't think it can really stand on the shoulders of the Lit review. Not too much of a problem but I have to get creative and I'm not feeling very creative at the moment. The essay is meant to articulate the maths and the creativity behind whatever it is we are exploring. And reference other artists and mathematicians. My abstract was a bit general, though this could work in my favour I suppose. A lot of people seem to be exploring music and while I find that appealing myself, if everyone else is doing it I'd rather be a bit different. Also, the current Studio project is audio-based, I think that there is more potential for confusion of the two than them building on one another.

The Essay is worth 25%.

The Practical we'll be doing in tandem and it;s worth 50%. We are to produce a work or a body of works integrating math and art, demonstrating our experimentation with what we have chosen to explore. And document it. Explaining what is asked of us has helped me understand it a bit more too... which is why I came here really.

But I have so much reading to do tonight for Studio and tomorrow I'll be editing audio for a presentation (which will be blogged about next). This weekend will be dedicated to the Essay. I just hope we don't get landed with anything else.
