At the very beginning of this mountain that is our assignment, we were asked to follow the examples of organisations such as the Biennal or general protocol used by Galleries and Exhibitioners.

The main two fundamentals of which are timing and budgeting.


My budgeting began as a rough jotting down of what I'd spend in the last month, I then progressed to make a precise record of the ingoings and outgoings, and furthered to create a 'projected' budget. This is what I expected to pay for materials that I would need in the future, this thereby providing me with a budget.
As I am not actually asking to borrow money from such establishments as the Arts Council or charitys, then my budget doesn't need to be written in blood. It's simply a test of guessimations against the reality of a project, financially.

Here is a screen shot of my second draft budget.

Already, the realisations have exceeded my expectations so this will have to amended again shortly to keep an accurate record.

Timekeeping is not one of my strong points. I tend to sink my teeth into one assignment at a time and go hell for leather until its finished. Right now, this is not possible. I have had to learn to organize my time effectivly, so again this second draft timetable has been drawn up. But yet again, this timetable hasn't been concurrent with the actualization of the project. Problems such as Practical work is taking longer than expected as right now I am trying things for the first time and need time to make mistakes and correct them, research is taking up huge chunks of time compared to that of writing it up in assignment form. However these are all problems that I am encountering and seeking help from professionals that have been in my position and look at how they coped and by what standards.

Here is an example of my second timetable.
