i have never wrote a blog before, so please forgive me if it makes no sense what so ever.

So were do i start? Firstly my name is Stephen McFarlane, am 20 years of age and i live and was raised in Norris Green, Liverpool. And before you ask, no its not that bad like they made it out on the documentary, its worse. (that's a joke by the way) My chosen specialism is painting, although after today's talks with Jackie and John am thinking of branching off into other areas. I have always chosen painting because i enjoy it and consider myself good at it, so i have never experimented with other mediums. Maybe now is the time to, not complete go away from painting but to open my eyes to other ways of making art.

Last week, i was unable to make the critical context lesson due to a, lets say post derby illness, ha ha. When i found out that we were to write a blog i completely dismissed the idea, but when listening to Jackie explain how it could help us throughout, not only our time in university
but also in our careers as artists. Am very optimistic about all the ideas that were thrown about today about the social gatherings and events were us students can get together and discuss, well basically anything. I personally, find it very difficult to socialise with people because i am a shy an introvert person, until you get to no me, then i wont shut up.

Anyways i don't no what to write now but i look forward to reading what about other students feelings towards the course and getting to know more about the people i will be with for the next 3 years. PEACE X
