Referencing William Kentridge

Our Skype chat Thursday featured William Kentridge. I already knew the three videos that Jonathan presented. Below are the two Kentridge videos that I cited in my research paper.

2nd One-to-One Research Paper tutorial with Gareth Polmeer Wednesday 26th September 2018 at 16.00: Tutorial was very helpful, and much appreciated Gareth’s insight, mostly in terms of clarifying the conclusion.

Tutorials

First Tutorial: Monday 30th October 2107 (9.30 am) with Jonathan Kearney I benefitted hugely from this and felt very encouraged to do all that I had in mind (I have a lot in mind and did a lot of talking – too much to write here) and more. In particular, I see that it is important […]
