My path through OCA Course in Photography 1: “Expressing Your Vision”

Exploring with my Vision….

This website constitutes my Learning Log for the course, “Expressing your Vision” . In my posts here I try and show how I have approached and completed the coursework exercises and the assignments for the course.

How to Navigate this Site

I have created posts relating to each element of the coursework, with titles as in the course notes. These are filed under the relevant headings. Similarly there are a series of  posts for each assignment, with links to other posts on the site as necessary.

Under the “Research and Reflection” tab are a series of posts relating to other general, background work related to the course. In this section the post titled “References” contains the full reference to each work cited in the other posts on the site. These posts include a link to the “References” post. Some of the early posts do however have the full citation in the body of the text, as at the time when I made those I did not have the other system in place.

I have also added another category of post, showing my own learning objectives and how I have reviewed and achieved these or not.

The posts, however, do not reflect all the thinking and records of my research. I have working notebooks and electronic collections of images which I use.

I will incorporate these into my posts where appropriate, but do not include all this background to make this site more readable and concise.

I have shown key pages from my working notebooks, where they illustrate how my ideas have developed – like this:

I will also include details of research about individual artists, where this is relevant to the points I am trying to make, but much of this is likely to remain in my folder summarising my reading and research.
