WHAT?
We met by Zoom to have an informal chat, feedback on experiences of those who had gone for July assessment, and to decide the future of the group next year, as the committee are reaching the ends of their courses.
SO WHAT?
- People had a universally good experience of the July assessment and said so long as you read the instructions carefully and follow them, there are no issues; recommended that we all get better at making videos of our work!!
- Look to see if there is a course module chat room – some have them
- Ask OCA tutors to put out some sort of list of what they would be prepared to put on online sessions about – Holly to get in touch with OCASA for this
- Agreed that we would carry on with monthly Zoom meet-ups for now; those who had been part of the group for some time obviously miss the physical meet-ups but, on the other hand, those who find it difficult to get there are benefiting from Zoom. The meetings will be on the 2nd Saturday of the month and, as well as chat supporting each other through tricky times, we shall:
- Invite a tutor to give us a talk on something,even if short
- Share work
- Share experiences e.g. gallery visits
NOW WHAT?
I only got into the group last November but have found the one physical meeting and the various Zoom meetings I’ve attended useful and informative – so glad that the group is keeping going in some form.
