Personal Development Planning: Network Maps


As part of our personal development planning we were all asked to create mind maps about our artistic and future career pathways. This is a pretty scary thing to be thinking about but I just started listing artists that I really like and that have done work linked to stuff ive created myself. I was struggling a bit with the whole future planning thing but I watched this video where Alis Pelleschi talked about her experience at university and how she made contacts to get work after it. I suppose im saying that I want to be a self-employed artist type person and I know that this is going to involve some degree of self promotion and branding. Ive included social media on the map because that can be a pretty good way of letting people see your work and maybe meeting people to work with. I have this blog but I haven’t gone into any other social media platform so far so I might consider doing that soon. I have a bit on the map about the past, the kind of art I wanted to do a while ago, textile based stuff maybe thinking about costume design. That was what I was into when I first left high school but my tastes have changed and the things I like creating is different. My present section is all about my work process the now and ive included pictures of artists I like, work that ive made and how they all linked together. Id say where I am now I know the kinds of things I like to make and the artists that inspire me and the next few briefs we get are going to be all about that.
