I wish I’d done that
These are the links to the animation I am fascinated with:

The animation '”Telemiscommunication” represents multimedia pictures integrated one into another.It is meaningful,dynamic and well combined animation.I depicted this film because it is close to the ideas that persist in my mind ,but I am not ready to represent them ,as my technical skills have not reached yet the required level to complete the task.There is a lot more to discover!Never the less, I make my first steps towards illustrating my thoughts by learning and practicing After Effect Animation skills.I discovered that creating the moving images makes me more happy rather then creating just static images. The animation in my opinion is representational and entertaining at the same time.It could give a better impression of expressed thoughts, as it is more perceptible due to combination of sequential images,music and written or pronounced words.Also It could combine a lot of styles and media in one go, which gives opportunity to demonstrate different skills and knowledge.It could be as entertaining or as educational as needed in accordance to the brief; either created by yourself or given to you by client.My aim is to gain a good skills in After Effect Animation.

Also I have to improve the skills in using Illustrator and Photoshop to get to the higher level ,in terms of creating sequential images.Collage and Painting are the methods I also pay attention to.In some cases the integrated 3D object gives a good depth to the picture and emphasising the elements of design within the composition. The Subconscious Drawing I am planning develop further to get to the stage when I do not have to concentrate to be relaxed.The meditation techniques should be achieved in order to gain a positive higher results.I should improve in terms of making decision in choosing media and working less chaotically in this case.
1,2,3 Advice
1. As I like integrating 3D objects into 2D picture I should develop this skills further and create my style of working.It could be Collage combined with Painting.
2. The technique of subconscious drawing could be used to get a quick idea, in terms of developing it further into better quality picture using an appropriate media.
3. I should make my decision about which media I have to use for particular task at early stage of developing the image.
I came to this conclusion after having a conversation with our teacher-lecturer at Stockport College Mr Spicer about my working method.We agreed that I have to structure the way of approaching the idea and clarifying my thoughts.I like creating images with underlying meaning but this meaning not always understandable for others.My aim is to achieve a certain level of visual communication to make my thoughts accessible for others and images will appear clearer.
Discussion Forums
Throughout this year we had a number of Discussion Forums.In those forums we have raised some actual questions about applying our art skills and gained knowledge on practical business;about how we feel and how we fit into the given brief;how we could improve our skills by attending as many as possible exhibitions,reading books and listening to the radio programs about Art and interviews of artists.In accordance to these discussions I have concluded that successful integration into the society as an artist depends on the level of comprehension of individual role within a society.The artist should be aware of what happening in the World to be able to response in an appropriate way, in terms of forming the opinion,making it perceptible for others ,or inducing others to make their own opinion ; reflecting it in the Art Work and displaying it to the mass.This type of responsibility and duties the Artist is facing in order to participate in social life.
Creative review
My working method at the moment is Deductive.I collect a lot of reflected ideas and then throw away those are not so good or do not quite fit into the required task.Eventually I select the best one that hits the requirement.Also I use a lot of different techniques and media,I experiment a lot and explore the areas of Art quite chaotically at this stage.The target would be to develop the Inductive method of working which includes inducing the right idea first, that hits requirements and then realising this chosen idea without trying chaotically the different techniques or the enormous number of media and styles.This should safe my time and make my work more planned and more representational.I should develop my own style of representing the idea.I like integrating 3D objects into 2D picture.I think,Collage and Painting should be integrated one into another and used for creating animation.That how I feel at this stage of my development as an artist.
Kinetic Sculptures is another trend I possibly feel passionate for.I like integrating kinetic elements into the composition.Jean Tinguely is one of the artists I admire.He creates kinetic sculptures:

There are some Optical Art images in my Portfolio.This area of art will become more available for me, if I improve my Photoshop and Illustrator skills.I think digitally I could develop a lot more interesting Op Art images rather then doing it by hand:

In summary, I would like to say that I am going to be a multimedia artist.The Interactive Cross Pathway job would have been ideal ,as I never will get bored and there will always be something to achieve while working on final outcome.

The book I recently red
The book I recently red was about interaction between the individual inner and outer experiences in the process of personal or professional development.
“A development was seen by the psychologist Piaget(1952) as a gradual move towards greater complexity,as a person integrates inner and outer experiences,through assimilating and accomodating to change”.
Annie Mitchel,1998,p21,”The Therapeutic Relationship in Complementary Health Care”,Harcourt Publishers Limited
