I was unable to attend the unit 5 lectures as I was at work, which I had had to reschedule in order to attend the Wednesday sessions.
There was no relevant research material. this unit already took up too much time without needing extra research.

Self evaluation (original file corrupted so copied out.)
UNIT:5
LEVEL:
STUDENT NAME:Nicolas Evans.
With reference to the Learning Outcomes for the Unit write a summary or bullet point list of what you consider to be:
The key achievements of your work on the unit (maximum 100 words)
.This unit gave me alot of experience in handling several different workloads at once and prioritizing my schedule.
.I was able to take on several different rolls which was useful for expanding my skillset,
.I honestly feel that the unit was largely irrelevant with regards to encouraging an understanding of collaborative practice since it instead got in the way of actual studio work and stiffed any chance for spontaneous creative collaboration. in that regard the unit has taught me to avoid any officially sanctioned collaboration as it will most likely become a nuisance.
The most useful things that you learnt (maximum 100 words)
. I learned that you can blow an awful lot of money on a project that means very little to you in a very short amount of time for virtually no real reason, and that the larger a collaborative group ,the most likely it is that the initial inspiration for the idea will get lost and blunted and ultimately become a work far removed from its source of origin.
The issues that you found challenging and how you set about overcoming them (maximum 100words)
.Actually attending unit 5 was a challenge as i had other commitments, such as work and trying to get my own degree work done.I overcame this by changing my hours and putting my own work second to the unit as it seemed to demand attention , at the expense of my own studio practice.
List what you now consider to be the main areas for development that you intend to focus on in the next unit? (maximum 100 words)
.In my next unit i intend to continue developing my own practice. Unit.Unit 5 was irrelevant and has had no lasting impact on me, it has had no roll in helping me expand or develop my own work. I fully intend to continue as normal with my own ideas and will mostly likely ignore collaboration given the experience I have had with this unit.

My role in unit 5.
For this project i was able to contribute both conceptually and materially .
The idea of a colour based work originally came out of my and my partners first task for the unit, which was to spend a day doing something different to our usual routine. We decided to spend the day wearing only one colour of clothing, and then meet up later to talk about any observations we had made on how this had impacted our day. WE were both surprised to find that despite ourselves being very aware of our one colour outfits, very few people had taken any notice, and those who had spoken to us had not thought to ask us about our choice of clothing.
From this point we discussed the idea of colour as identity and the conceptual connotations of different colours in impacting the judgement of others.
For the next two weeks i was unable to attend sessions due to work , however, the idea of colour and identity being a key part of the final production was taken on board by the group and was soon developed into the idea of a performative space in which people would be invited to interact with different colours.
We decided as a group to create a space divided into different coloured sections, and in each section have a person promoting the perceived virtues of their own colour. As well as the immediate visual presence of colour, we eventually decided to add in music and different props to be interacted with, as well as the idea of physically imparting colour onto the viewer, to create an immersive kaleidoscopic experience,
My role once the idea was finalized was to help with the construction of the space and to obtain the needed materials, such as boiler suits,paints,tools,chalks, paper tarp ect, to ensure we could achieve maximum audience interaction without damaging either the clothes of the viewer or the university facilities.
During the performance itself i took on the roll of usher, letting small groups into the performance and ensuring they had on the needed coverings to protect their clothing, and then upon their leaving asking them to fill out a small questionnaire about their experiences.
Once the performance was over ,we took the boiler suits that peole had been wearing and displayed them as an end of show installation, to show ff the variety of colours each once was now covered in after having been worn several times.
