… I hope so.
I always loved paintings (noun) and painting (verb), but somehow managed to sideline what could have been a life-long passion. One evening my computer screen flashed up the question “Have you thought about studying online for a BA in Fine Arts and Visual Culture?”
No I hadn’t. But I
filled in my name and phone number anyway, and went away for a week. I was still sleeping off my
journey when the phone rang and an Open University councillor persuaded me to sign
up.
I’ve started my first two units: Internet
Communications and Issues in Contemporary Art.
They are taught out of Curtin University, on the other side of the
continent, and I don’t even have to leave my living room.
This blog is going to focus on what I encounter in my Fine Arts
courses. I plan no agenda, no destination:
just a journey of discovery as I meander among Old Masters and Modern Geniuses,
creating some of my own art along the way.
