Unit Evaluation



I feel that Throughout this project I have developed my work by learning new techniques and putting them into practice, I am really pleased with all of my practical elements in terms of my weave and knit samples, my larger drawings and a small amount of my sketchbook work. I do however feel that my sketchbook lacks as much energy as my other practical work, in future I will be sure to keep my sketchbook up to the same standard to guarantee a more successful project.
During my research I chose my favourite artists, images and colours to work from, in doing this I created drawings, paintings and samples. I feel that I could have presented this better as I did not reflect and evaluate all of these things, due to this I feel my sketchbook was slightly confusing and seems hard to understand the thoughts behind what I and why I did certain things.

I feel that I have discovered a new self confidence in terms of using techniques and processes as I am now able to experiment much further in all aspects of my work. I have also realised that on a personal level if I am not thoroughly enjoying the project it reflects in work which has been an issue in this particular project, even though it is seen as a problem I can use this knowledge in the future and to be sure I don’t make the same mistake again.

In relation to lateral thinking I feel that this shows in the way I have presented some of my samples. In particular my final 7 knit samples, as when you look at them the initial reaction could be many different things when in fact I aimed to create a ‘knitted cityscape’. After I did this I was told to mount 2-3 pieces per A3 page so I had to take it apart and remount them as required, because of this I included an image of the pieces which shows how I originally wanted them. I feel that the picture did not really compliment the better characteristics of the pieces as a whole but it did show the essence of a cityscape rather well.
 I think that I am managing my time well in terms of getting all of my work done and handed in on time, but unfortunately during this unit I missed a few sessions due to hospital appointments but I do not feel that this has affected my outcome.
