Induction Week

I was so scared going to Big School for the first time.  I have waited so long to fulfil my dream of doing a Fine Art degree and here I am at last doing it!!!!

Induction Week is rather awkward as you get to know people. This is especially so if you are a doddery old fart (DOF) like me.  Bradford College however doesn't have all of the airs and graces of some Art Schools and it does understand mature students.  I was lucky and both the group I was in and others on the course have been very friendly.

We started off with my particular bete noir: being given a very limited set of materials and being told to make something in our group.  I have had to do this so many times during boring management and team events that I loathe, hate and detest this exercise.  At least we didn't have to build a bridge this time.  So paper, paint (black), string, tin foil and plastescine turned into waterfalls and ducks for us





Typically however when one looks around everyone else seemed to have had some really funky and interesting ideas leaving our ducks looking a bit sad.  Hey Ho.
