WEEK 11, 11/12/17

This week was individual tutor sessions within our course lecturers, discussing ideas on our creative projects and essay for fifteen minutes.

Beforehand, I research using the Moodle suggested sources, the weekly reading on Moodle, and my weekly notes to decide upon my topic. From this meeting, I was under the construction of an essay title and project concerning Grove House. This session helped me to debating upon a scholarly approach: art historian, architectural, or geographical. My question was soon developed slightly into one concerning the purposing of Grove House within Georgian London compared to Modern London: ‘How did Grove House change architecturally/ geographically/ etc. under the influences of Georgian London to Modern London?’

This conversation also helped to develop my ability to think critically about how to conduct a research question, keeping in mind the need to bring the London context into the essay but keep my Roehampton topic centrepiece. Likewise, it tested my creative abilities in considering the logistics of how I would go about creating a handout – considering digital applications Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher. Afterwards, I tested such applications to learn new skills and renew my ability to use these digital tools.
