Essay Mark

I got a B13 for my essay on Freud aswell (shockingly I was expecting a B11 or something!)

So a 2:1 grade average :D

I like B13's 

And the results are in!

I got a B13 grade which is the top grade in the 2:1 degree bracket.
Out of all the 5 assessment criterias I had 1 A14,2 B13's and 2 B12's which averages into the B13 mark.
I am very pleased :D (just wish it was a A14 haha)
Thanks to everyone who helped get me here I really appreciate the time,money and help I have been given and I love all the good luck messages and comments I have recieved either on Facebook or ebay.
Special thank you's to Emma and Nadean from Dulux/Akzonobel who have been so helpful and supportive with my project I hope you are both pleased with the final piece and my result.
Greatest thanks my parents who I couldn't do anything without.My Dad has driven me around taking my work to uni and bringing it home and my Mam has always been the best person to listen to me when I'm about to fall apart.I bought them flowers today :D
Love,love,love!

Results Tomorrow

Fingers crossed everyone!

I'm so anxious... eeek!

No Results yet!

Going slightly stir crazy I really want to find out my results for my project but because of the 3rd years having changes to their timetable (*shakes fist*) we have had a delay in getting our results.So fingers crossed I will get them on Tuesday because I was meant to get them yesterday (Wednesday 20th).Hopefully I will get an awesome grade which will make it worth the 50+ hours of painting tiny rectangles and all the time taken to raise the money then to negotiate getting the paint delivered and then cutting and priming the mdf, plus all the sketchbook development work and research.

Anyway despite this I had another lovely email from Emma who has shown her area manager my blog and her area manager has passed on my blog address to people at Head Office and apparently they are very interested in my project and may want some details from me about it.

So hello to anyone who works at Dulux/Akzonobel who has been given my blog address recently and thank you for looking I really appreciate it and I hope you like my attempt at mixing your colours.

I just hope the interest isn't the beginning of proceedings to sue me for copyright! :/

It's gone

I took my work down earlier today the corridor looks so bare :(

Was really good being able to leave it up for the week though given me some exposure for my work and hopefully some people have been checking out my blog for it and enjoying some colour on a very boring grey wall whilst they are sat in the computer suites working or walking past.

Results next week so watch this space for my grade.

Finger and toes crossed for me please!

Assessment

Did my assessment today.

I think it went well lecturers seemed to like my work and didn't seem to give me any major criticism and asked lots of nice questions and things like that.

So feedback next week when I find out my mark.Fingers crossed

My work is staying up for the whole week so lots of exposure and hello to anyone whose come across my blog since it's been up.

Tomorrow

Assessment tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

Slightly scared but fingers and toes crossed it will be fine.

Installed

Ready for assessment on Monday now.

Stand

I have four of these one for each range,this is before I painted them white for display though.

Really simple a piece of 44x44mm wood with an angled slot sawn into it,glued and screwed onto a base of 20 cm MDf to make it more stable.The strips will slot into the groove and will lean against the wall.

Dulux Dreams

So I made my stands today they look awesome.

Thank you to Matt for taking apart the one saw in the workshop so we could make them :D I wasn't expecting it to be that complicated but turns out machines need to be taken apart but they were pretty simple apart from that.Will take a photo of them tomorrow to show you all how simple and elegant they are :)

So I now have 4 stands, they need to be painted tomorrow.

I still have half the sides of my strips to paint white which is taking far too long for my liking.

My Dad is coming to pick me up from my house tomorrow afternoon to take it all to uni so I can install it.

Assessment is on Monday morning 9.30am :/ ouch.T minus 3 days.

I'm having an early night I'm going to get up early and paint sides until my Dad comes and picks me up fingers crossed I will get the vast majority done before he comes!

Stressed?A little bit.

Night Night People Sweet Dulux Dreams x

Tidying Up

So I bought wood today to make my stand so estates will be happy that my work will be nice and safe and secure, so will be spending tomorrow in the workshop making that :)

I spent some of tonight tidying up the edges of my strips because most of the sides have some bare mdf showing so just been filling them in white.Still got quite a few left to do but hopefully will get my stand made then come home and finish them tomorrow.

Also handing in my essay tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a busy day!

Finished!

Here are the complete sets

Rich,Fresh,Warm and Calm.

Minus 2 colours which are at home.Opps

Strips

So I'm not cutting off the bottom section of each strip.

I think it would ruin them in some way as they are a kind of handle because these are not just paintings, I class them as an installation and I see them as objects rather than something to be hung on a wall and left alone. Plus I know this is slightly disgusting but they do look like dip sticks which are used in medicine to test urine samples.So that's my reference for the blank area at the bottom.

Done

I also finished all the strips today!

Awesome!My back is killing I did 6 strips today.

I just need to fill in the gaps now where I had missing paint but my back is hurting to much.

Did the two strips I was missing from the Rich and Fresh ranges.

Finished Calm!

I finished Calm!Yay!

So now I've got 2 strips left because I didn't do all the Neutrals for Rich and Fresh so I need to do those then onto my randoms!

Here's todays work so far :)

Bank Holiday Weekend

So no work all weekend because I went to stay at my boyfriends Saturday night then it was my Mam's birthday yesterday so went home and went for a meal with my parents so I was approximately 10 miles from my work all weekend opps!

But anyway I have 6 strips left to paint so watch this space for how many I get done today!

It's Bank Holiday Monday and I'm working!

The End is Nigh

Up to Calm Greens now :) 6 more strips left to do!

Priming

My last few strips needed extra priming so I did that earlier.
