Summary of tutorial discussion
Demonstration of technical and visual skills, quality of outcome, demonstration of creativity –
You did well to produce this body of work in a short time. You have approached each exercise with thought and tried iterations of ideas. There could however be further investigation in the exercises , the body of work feels a little bit light but i am sure this is due to a lack of time and not a lack of ideas.
It might be that you should separate out some of your more resolved or successful pieces and mount simply on cartridge for assessment. For example your self portrait, the rubbing of your letter, the rubbing of the leaves in your environment. I shall confirm from Sandra if this is a good idea.
You experimented well with a variety of materials and processes. You handled line well in the initial drawing exercise. You produced a strong graphic composition.
The photos of the found marks were very successful. You observed very interesting textures, colours and compositions in these images. Think about how you instinctively did this with the camera frame and how this could be applied to samples you are creating.
The end of the sketchbook felt a bit rushed and scrappy. Please make sure papers are either in the book attached, out in a separate book or just placed in a simple fold of clean white paper acting as a sleeve. For assessment put details of the exercise neatly on the corner of the sleeve.
Context, reflective thinking, critical thinking, analysis –
You presented your work well on your blog. It would however be helpful to have a paragraph of reflection after each exercise. ( you started to do this in the last couple of exercises)
Please give more detail in your reflection for example you say that you were underwhelmed by a certain assignment, explain why you think this is.
You mentioned Tracy Emin and Elise Englar were important artists for you in this assignment, please explain why. What did you connect with in their work? Do you feel that your work was a response to this, if yes why, if not then why not ?
Please include the rest of the research artist analysis in the final assessment.
Well done, I look forward to your next assignment.
