Andrea Norrington How to be a creative learner
(5 sessions between now and July)
Session 1 24.3.20 Plan Do reflect
Plan, do reflect – record those thoughts capturing them before they’re gone
Plan act observe reflect – revise plan act observe reflect in a circular motion
This enables you to do the work and move forwards, documenting enables you to engage with the work at a deeper level.
Planning: Creating momentum
- Remind myself to read Austin KLeon Steal like an artist which I haveand another of his: Keep Going: 10 Ways to Stay Creative in Good Times and Bad
- Side projects are useful: keep you going and skills fresh
Photographing- think how you can regularly photograph – this is relevant to me
Reflection should happen throughout the course
- It’s part of the planning process and can move your work forwards
- Work will be more focused and structured
- Use your learning log
- Writing the end course evaluation will be easier
Invest in your practice by planning doing reflecting
My reflections:
Not anything new here as I attended Andrea’s sessions last year however it’s always good to remind myself of ideas for good practice. My takeaway was to photograph regularly especially as I come up to the end of this course and may have a summer break before starting level 3.
