Dear students, tutors and team support
?
The tutors are planning a learning activity which will be posted on our private Facebook group (QJ students 2018/2021) and should appear in the coming weeks. ?The idea is to present you, at regular intervals,?with a number of quilt images and invite you to consider them individually and leave a ‘constructive comment’ in the comments box below each image. ?
?
The aim of this learning activity is to enable you to practise writing comments which are clear and concise and to learn from sharing your comments with your colleagues in the group. This will be an optional exercise and will not be assessed but we do encourage you all to participate and share your thoughts.? No time limits will be placed on leaving comments.
?
The activity requires LOTS of images of quilts for which the makers have given permission for use with this educational purpose. ?
So please can you each send me (brendawroe@... or judgingtutor_bw@...) a few images for the pool (with a title and dimensions if possible).? I will post them anonymously?during the coming weeks so that your privacy is maintained. These images can be your own work or that of friends but please ensure that you have their permission to post them in our secret FaceBook group before you send them.
?
I have previously loaded an article written by a US quilt judge Scott Murkin in the Photos section of this site (groups.io) which is useful preparatory reading for the exercise.
?
We will run the exercise for a few weeks and just see how it goes.
?
Stay safe and keep well everyone
?
Brenda, Annette and Steve.
