I know I need to spend time gathering my references when planning for my essay as this will help to ensure I find it easier to integrate them better. In doing this, my points and comments are backed up fully and readers know where I’m getting my information from.

My tutor also suggested I could analyse the ideas of time and place in greater detail. Hockney’s Joiners lend themselves well to these as he stretches the boundaries of time and place in his process of work and subject matter. I’ll try to look at this more closely to offer better analysis.

Linking to this, my tutor advised that I consider what a ‘better sense of place’ actually means. When using this phrase I know what I mean, however, I understand this isn’t always clear to the reader so I need to ensure I explain this. To me, a general sense of place means that someone can experience and become familiar with it, even if they haven’t physically visited themselves. Photography allows people to see images of places around the world in which they wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
