Seminar Task 4: Reflect on fieldwork posted on 11th Nov 2013

What were your group's findings?

What did you find challenging / surprising?

If you had to do it again what would you do differently and why?

Here are the positives  as discussed within our group:
  • Planning, research and communication within the group was spot-on.
  •  Time keeping - Travel time was precisely calculated by Gina as she arrived on the dot to pick me from my house resulting in reaching on time at designated place to meet Leigh. Due to other engagements on the day we knew we had only the morning  2 hours to complete our site visit. Hence time management was crucial and the group supported each other on maintaining this precision.
  •  Having considered all the risks, we had no problem with the parking facilities or the weather condition on the day.
  • On observing the Street art closely we realised that a variety of techniques had been used in the artworks. Each had its own distinct style.
The following are some points which we would have done differently:
  • Although we had two weeks to plan and execute this visit, we felt the need for a bit more forward planning so that everyone in the group could have made it to the sites.
  • We were too absorbed by the task that we didn't have enough time to reflect on the artworks .
  • It was not evident who the artists were making the street art on North Street.
On exploring the hire charges at the Grant Bradley Gallery, we found out that their admin and commission percentage was much lower than the more acclaimed galleries in Bristol. This could be a possible option for students to collaborate and put up a show together in the future.
