Evaluation
I fully understood
what my project insisted of, and what my aim was for the assignment. My first
thoughts on receiving the assignment brief, was that it would be something new
for me as I am working on a bigger scale. My second thoughts were if I would
finish the design in time, as there would be other work to be done during the process
of the assignment I collected the majority of my research from the internet,
for most of the artists within my sketch book along with my blog; another
source that I used to collect a bit of my research from, was a few PowerPoints
of different artists shown by the teachers during the beginning of the class.
There were a few difficulties during my artist’s research, as I could not find
out a few details about the artists. For example what career they pursued
before becoming an artist, what inspired them for a few of their outcomes and
designs.
I was satisfied with
my design because the outcome was better than intended, and each panel of my
box shows I cared about the detail, and I wanted to complete each section to a
high standard. The few things I could have done differently or improve on, is
the blending of the tones and shades for my self-portrait side of the panel. If
I had developed this skill more, and practiced blending different colours to
create different shades, the outcome of my design would have been better
greater. I didn’t organise my work to a great extent, as I spent most of my
time designing my panels for the box, rather than showing what different options
I could have used for each side; or step by step designs which lead to my final
choice for the design of the box. Eventually, I did get to a point of at least
showing some forum of planning. For each panel on my box, I drew 2 different options
of designs I could have chosen from to place onto my box; for example, I choose
two different sections from my zentagle designs that I laid out into a plan for
one side of the panel.
The few things I learnt
from this project is ne styles of line drawing, along with a few new artists
and their style of drawing, painting or any forum of art that they create. A few
of the artists, I could use later on during the process of the course, as inspirations
for different projects and assignments. Although, I did not gain much knowledge,
other than a few new styles of drawing, or more artists that I can add to my library
of information of the art world; but the whole processes of the assignment did
give me confidence with working on bigger scales as it is not something I find
ease at. I didn’t complete all assigned work in time, but I managed to complete
a few or at least start some in my sketchbook to show signs of work rather than
an empty book, or pages that aren’t stuck in as that will decrees marks for my presentation,
and lack of work. There was a few works that were rushed, weren’t the best
option as sometimes it’s more about the quality of your work rather than the quantity
The most unsuccessful
aspect of the project was not completing the whole design of my box. Even
though I did start all panels, am still not pleased with myself for not
completing the aim of the project. Although, the best aspect of the project was
being able to present my art in a new way, and also learning new forms of art
styles than I can use later on. I don’t believe the standard work in this assignment
is better than my last, as my last assignment was something I specialized in,
as it’s involved with illustrations. And I find am much better at what I do and
love, so therefor show much better standard work.
