About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

The influence of Modernist art movements on photography

Reflective cycle for research into modern art

Description

We were asked by our tutor to do some research into modern art covering the following subjects : futurism and Avante Garde, Cubism and Abstraction, Dada movement, Surrealist movement, and Bauhaus design.

Feelings

I looked forward to doing the research into modern art.  Although I feel I have a good basic understanding in modern art I was looking forward to learning some more about the subject. Our group covered the Bauhaus design movement. 

Evaluation

Good points : We had a small group of two people so we were able to focus on the task at hand. Using new technology and applications on the mac was interesting as I am not as familiar with the Mac, it is always good to learn new applications and programmes.

Bad points : We did not have a very long time to do the research, so we felt that time was against us. I also felt we struggled using some of the Mac technology as I am more familiar with Pc than the mac.

Analysis

With hindsight it may have been easier to use word than the pages application which was new to me as we would have been more familiar with that application. It may also have been better if we had included larger images in our presentation, but we struggled to find good quality larger images on the internet.


Conclusion

I found the research interesting and felt that the group as a whole uncovered some interesting point and that the end results showed a lot of hard work from the group.

Below are some of the links that we used for our research :
