Business and Enterprise.

I hope that this module will teach me or give me some sort of practice in what and how I will possibly work when I leave University.

Through classes and lectures we have discussed, what the brief actually means and how it will work to better us as practitioners. The main idea is 'making it happen' HOW?

Of all the creatives and creative areas of the world we are one of the most vibrant places. 'The creative industries are the fastest growing sector in the UK.'

We must identify the project and work out what the problems will be and also what I will need. It could be one of two things, a PROFIT making organisation or a NON-PROFIT organisation, which would be working within a budget.

The main idea is how do I relate this to my practice?

My project has to be an international idea, this would further my project/event.

I also need to address my strategy for everything, why I am choosing to do things and how.

Two questions I need to ask myself are   - 'How does my enterprise fit with my practice?'

  - 'How does my enterprise fit with the brief?'

I need to think of what I could possibly do for a project which will be good  for enterprise.

Ideas I've initially thought are either:-

- ME as a Practitioner/Freelance. (How do I work with no college facilities).

- Hold a monthly live drawing evening.

- The Artist Book Fair.

I've decided on preparing to hold my own monthly live drawing evening event. I don't know that I will actually put the night on this year, but strive to sometime next year or the year after.

I will use this module to practice and to understand what I will be doing for it more. Understanding competitors and how putting on a night works.

Some initial thoughts of things I need to consider are:

- Space, with this money.

- What benefit my event will have (imperil in a pitch)

- Competing

- Setting up costs - how much will I need for materials and paying people?

- How do I get profit?
