Summary of tutorial discussion
Demonstration of technical and visual skills, quality of outcome, demonstration of creativity –
You have a very interesting body if work here Linda. Well done for this, you have been focused in your approach and yet produced some exciting experimental pieces.
You have analysed your previous assignments and considered a new idea to move your sampling forward. The ideas are held together by music ( something you found hard to respond to in an earlier assignment) and some of your samples reflect your responses to the track.
Your large fabric rust piece is very interesting, the scale is exciting and the way you have drawn with found objects , leaving a ghost of an image.
Please consider how you show your samples for assessment. We discussed labels or small tags to identify the sample or to explain how the sample should be viewed.
Consider why you have left some sample with threads, ribbon, cord unfinished and hanging. Please explain your reasons or rectify this.
You have documented your sampling well with drawings, rubbing, collages. Make sure that these observations are helpful for you. Please consider how you can use them to move your ideas forward rather than them being a “tick box” exercise. Are they helping you to understand the scale/ composition/ texture of the sample …… Can you do more to trail out your ideas before going into 3d.
I feel there is a part of the assignment missing where you are developing your trials working towards your final piece/ trial. We discussed doing more work on the fabric pieces on the iron work. Can you try different shapes, colours, materials….. Could they be attached in different ways. Should they be white against the hard metal? Could you use a distressed fabric or do you prefer the sharp clean white ? If so why……. They feel a little too decorative for me , maybe a little too unconsidered and controlled in application? What if each link of the chain had a module/ shape how could each one be attached thoughtfully? These are just ideas and questions it is for you to really work this out, you have time for this and you might come up with a better result, or maybe not …. But it would be interesting to see your journey.
Context, reflective thinking, critical thinking, analysis –
You are reflecting on your work much better well done. Do still keep asking questions though (I have suggest some above)
Please add a link to the music track if you have not already done.
Add an image of the crochet chain.
Decide how we should view the orange ties on the wire, maybe suggest this in a photograph with the piece.
You have explained your work well in 5.2
Rejig the part where you are responding to the criteria, things could be placed under better headings.
I have really enjoyed working with you. All the best for your assessment.
