Discussion notes (researcher)
Robyn and I met for 45 minutes and discussed Chapter 4 of my dissertation. She offered that while I have written in a vivacious, interesting, art historically informed way about each of the historical works I have paired mine with, I need to get quiet and spend time thinking and writing on the analysis of each of my own 20 paintings.
She recommended that I ask myself, pointedly of each painting I analyze, and in relationship to the one I am comparing it to, "How do I effectively contribute to the current field of contemporary painting?"
She correctly noted that I have the seed of a good idea for each one of mine, but that I have to elaborate on the formal, psychoanalytical, and/or autobiographical aspects. Robyn suggested that I contextualize each, either in relationship to the painting environment I made it in, and/or in relationship to the painting I have paired that particular one with. She said the writings need to sing.
Also, she recommended that I download and try an app called "restream". To use it in the context of my current writing, I might look at the pair of paintings, and speak what I am thinking into my phone (with the app turned 'on'.) Then, click submit and in 30 seconds I will receive a written transcript.
Agreed action points (to be completed after the meeting)
I will sign up for and download a restream account. I will test it on a couple of my Chapter 4 writings.
After my semester ends on December 18, I will reach out to Robyn to book an early January supervisory meeting date.
I will spend at least half of my winter break re-writing Chapter 4- Discussion & Analysis, and writing Chapter 5 - Conclusions.
I aim to submit to Adam and Robyn by early to mid January 2025. (eDoc 'Submission Planning')
