STICKY IDEAS… catalogue of some artists
So, the course is finished, and by tomorrow evening the final group exhibition will be on. The artists who are exhibiting tomorrow have put together a short catalogue of what they do, providing some reference material of their work.Â
I thoroughly enjoyed this course, both in lecturing and in participating as a student.  It has been a life changing experience for me, and very special to be in a class full of talented individuals, with a direct, honest and heartfelt approach to their work, and in communicating with others.Â
This is the start of continuing the network…
Thank you all for the impact on my life course,
Elske
2 commentsSTICKY IDEAS EVENT - The invite to final group exhibition
The Group Exhibition for this course is planned as a collaborative fun event, with selected visual art, jewellery, ceramic art, performance art, installations and screenings on display for one evening (30 November 2007). The thrust of the event is to have a final get-together where all delegates will have a chance to show their work to their classmates, and to increase their network.
A catalogue of exhibitors will also be loaded onto the blog soon.
See you there, Elske
Open the invite to see the details.

Hi there
This is a copy of the presentation I gave yesterday at the Animation SA and Cape Film Commision (CFC) Funding and Distribution conference. It involved findings from running the programme and recommendations to the film industry. Hopefully they take up the challenge!

2 commentsPresentation on Executing the Business Case
Hi
For your final session next Monday, one of the requirements for achieving your DP is that you present your product or service, structured with the following considerations in mind:
- How is this product/service going to create value?
- For whom is this going to create value?
- How will you make money from this and/or why should someone finance this?
You have three minutes for your presentation bearing in mind as Mark Twain said, “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead”.
If you have only three minutes to present, this will mean that you will need to be Totally articulate about the value creation of your product and what makes it something worthy to engage with.
You may present your product/service in any format you like.
Enjoy the experience of crafting this - you never know, you may use it in an elevator one day! Elaine
