Artefacts

The Artefact is definitely something I have struggled with. The biggest issue in my thought process has been trying to find an end result. I have been thinking of the aretefact as a product of a finished result rather than something that represents a learning process.
Since speaking with Adesola I have realised that my artefact needs to represent the different aspects of my inquiry through a different mean of communication.
The artefact needs to represent the process of the literature, data collection tools and analysis.
As I am looking at the area of imagery I have decided my artefact should link to the idea of images representing the different areas of my inquiry. How these images represent the different areas and why?
It may be a set of different images? Or it may be that 3 or 4 images reflect my literature and a different 3 images reflect my data collect and analysis. But in some way these may link?
The most important thought I have taken from the artefact discussion is that it is a continuous learning process and not a finished product.

Interviews and Observations

I am beginning my data collection process this week and I am feeling both anxious and nervous.
Interviews are something I have never done before and as we discussed in our last Skype, formulating questions can be very tricky. I am looking for answers but I don't want the participant to realise this. I want them to feel comfortable to answer the questions completely honest and not feel in any way persuaded. I used Eleanor's idea of reading the interview questions to someone you know informally. This was such a great trick and I found that I rejigged and rephrased a few of my questions.
In terms of observations I feel quite in the dark as I am in no way involved in the process I am just an onlooker. Therefore, I am trying to remain open minded and not go into the observations with the hope of finding anything in particular.

Imagery as a dancer and performer can aid our expression.
I came across this quote today and it spurred thoughts for me.
We see millions of people and objects in our life. However, Imagery is the ability we have to recreate these images we have seen.
Therefore, it confirms many articles I have read about imagery and how imagery cues are only beneficial if we can provide more than one as a teacher. In a lesson, a teacher may use an image but this may only be relatable to one out of a handful of students. Some forms of imagery rely heavily on us as performers to have experienced or the ability to create an idea of an image or object. The end product would also be individual to you as a performer. It would be very strange if we all recalled experiences/images or objects exactly the same.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this idea!!
