Professional & Contextual studies 2
29th January 2013
The Posthouse was a venue a lot of people in the group had enthusiasm, people who had never been there before went to go and have a look, I and a few others had already been in there before so we stayed and waited for the group to return. When they returned some of the group had mixed feelings about the venue, it was a bit dark and it would cost £200 to have our exhibition there.
Chasewater Park had also been researched into, Vicky and Katy went to visit the venue and said the facilities were quite good. It would cost nothing to set up here.
I did get in touch with my friend who works at the council but she is yet to contact me back with information, I may have to remind her about it.
A Facebook page has been set up for the group, the name of the group was discussed at length, we listed down ideas and voted on what names were best to fit the group. Obviously this was easier said that done, it proved hard to put all our specialisms under one name. Everybody contributed names and we came down to Twenty - 20 Artists 20 visions.
These names got the most votes before being narrowed down to Twenty - 20 Artists 20 visions.
‘Impact’ – Naomi

Professional & Contextual studies 2
22nd January 2013
The first subject on the agenda was choosing a venue, we listed down venues on the board. Emails have already been sent by the two students chairing the meeting asking for the rest of us to think of venues, keeping in Stafford will be more convenient for everyone but it may be that we find a good venue out of Stafford.
In the agenda it covers a lot of points like costing, duration, logistics, health and safety etc, all very important things to cover.
We listed many venues but narrowed it down to by voting which venues most of the group favored Venues we listed were -
Bridgetown
Council Building
The Swan
Posthouse
Village Halls
Old Library
Gatehouse
GuildHall
Chasewater
Western Hall

Today the whole group has been set two tasks, the first being we are all to work together to participate in an event that relates back to our specialist areas. The second being a written response into a individual project like planning out a portfolio.
Our lecturer handed out the brief and explained all we needed to do to meet the requirements of the brief, and I had a clear understanding of what we had to do.
The group project is mainly handled by us students, the lessons will be treated as meetings and each we week we move forward on the event on the planning side and practical. I will find it interesting in how we will handle this project, I have worked in a group project before and it didn't go as predicted. Since this group is made up of different courses it could go the other way but Neil did warn that previous year groups have fallen out with each other.
Each week 2 students have to chair the meetings and write an agenda for the group and make decisions on what to do next, our lecturer will only advise us on what to do.
We listed down what kind of event we could possibly do that could show all our work and we all agreed on doing an exhibition there was a strong opposition for an online presence because some people were uncomfortable with their work being associated with the rest of the group which was a little odd. Workshops and demonstrations were also suggested but could put a strain on the logistics from New Media's point of view, acquiring and moving equipment to the Venue would be difficult. Magazine/Zine was also suggested and I did like the idea of it but the majority of the group was not in favor of the idea.
We came down to what Tom suggested, an exhibition coffee shop to generate more interest in the exhibition. I and the majority of the group liked the idea and it could really work but I can see it not being easy to find a venue that can cater to our needs.
