DIARY - I began researching Public Art, to give me some idea of what I would be planning for my own
piece of Public Art. I researched Public Art local to me, in Forfar, I drove and walked around Forfar to
see what I could find, and I photographed any Public Art I came across, there were a lot of murals, not
so many sculptures. I gathered some information on the Public Art I found, by reading any plaques
displayed with them or by researching on the internet.

Week 2 (Week beginning 7th September)

create a bibliography and record sources using Harvard referencing. Choose one of the two briefs and begin
researching the theme, begin by creating a mind map for the chosen brief.

Resources required – Camera, Computer, sketchbook, pens.
DIARY - I had to decide which brief I wanted to follow, after discussing with my lecturer, I decided to create
my own brief, I chose to research and make a piece of Public Art to remember ‘The Forfar Witches,’ I visited
Forfar Library to find out what information they might have about the Forfar Witches, I was a little
disappointed that they didn’t have very much information, but I took pictures of what they did have.

incredibly sad, but highly informative. I am not a religious person so did not partake in singing hymns or
reciting prayers but just listened to what was being said.

candle into my idea.
