PPP- end of module evaluation
I’ve never been good at analysing illustrator work and
applying it to my own practice which is what this module is teaching me. I’ve started keeping a blog this year which
was new to me. After finding it new and easy to forget at first, I now see it
as a visual diary to be updated frequently. My blog shows how my work have developed
over the past academic year and how it’s been influenced by the works of other
illustrators. This module has taught me about all the different areas of
illustration there is and has made me question for my illustrative style lies
in the future. My biggest improvement as a result of this module is my huge
improvement in organisation and time management. This has reduced the amount of
work and stress near deadlines and has left me happier with the quality and
quantity of my work.
It’s safe to say that this module has been the one I’ve
struggled with the most this year. Not only do I find to difficult to analysis
illustrations and apply it to my own practice, I’ve also noticed that I’ve
neglected this module. Because personal and professional practice is the module
that runs alongside a number of smaller modules, it was easy to neglect and
forget about it, therefore resulting in me falling behind. There is also a lack
of documentation for this module. I’ve
neglected blogging many of the briefs and lectures for the module. Disappointedly,
I don’t feel I’ve fallen madly in love with many illustrators work this year.
There’s been a few such as Olivier Kugler and Lucinda Rogers that have
influence my developing line quality but nothing really has a huge impact on my
work. This may
be due to my lack of visits to the library and exhibitions, which I expect to
change from now on. Through this module I have learnt to apply a more
analytical range of vocabulary to my own work and others to an extent, but it’s
just not a strong point of mine and something to work on next year.
I’m happy with my final resolution for studio brief 2 (the
practical task). I feel like the overall finished piece is visually
strong. However I feel it would have
been stronger if it was informed by a larger body of research and a clear
concept. This could be due to my choice of interest at the start of the brief
and I couldn’t something interesting to say about ‘skiing’. I’m also so pleased
with how my PPP presentation went. Presentations are something I’m not at all
confident in because I get so nervous and tend to mumble. After a disappointing CoP presentation only
weeks before, I was surprised with the positive feedback I received for my PPP
one. My feedback was encouraging and has left me feeling slightly more positive
about future presentations and talking in front of people. It was interesting to look back on what I’ve
taken from the year and I’m happy with my progress. I’m particularly happy with how my line work
has developed and how I’ve improved with combinbing analogue and digital
process to my work.
I need to start pushing myself with experimenting with media
and expanding my practice. I don’t do enough drawing for fun so drawing for fun
I need to start producing my own work beyond uni and development my tone of
voice further. I’m hoping I’ll find my illustrators that influence my work
during the summer and next year and apply it to my practice. This will be
achieved by me making more of an effort to find illustrators and go to libraries
and exhibitions.
5 things to work on:
·
Be playful and experiment with different media
·
Research- look at more illustrators and whatever
else interests me
·
Keep up to date with my PPP blog
·
Continue drawing- draw for fun
·
I need to improve on analysing work
