Well movember is over– pleased with the result but am now smooth

The lecture for the Open College of the Arts went well – it really is the
future. http://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/research-for-year-1-2013-com
the presentation looked at the role of research within an art practice – its pivotal
position in supporting creative thinking and enabling the making of work. Pecha
Kucha’s with year 2 textile students at NUA went very smoothly – their
introduction delivers another strand of professionalism which is now embedded
in the course. The Thursday lecture by Lee Lapthorne was quite beautiful –
mirroring what we talk about in terms of seeking out collaboration, the need to
enjoy working on things you are unsure about, failing wonderfully and learning
and multi-tasking as a glorious necessary http://www.leelapthorne.com/ - we
really are good at delivering a positive learning and teaching experience to
the students.
It’s a busy week coming up with teaching in Norwich for 2

End - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213663/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Real Steel - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433035/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_11

it and finally Fearless - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0446059/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_13
