Peer Review Feedback 1
Comment on the breadth of initial ideas produced in response to the brief?
Strengths
So much work! Really great printmaking. The lino prints are great.
Suggestions
Do more lino prints on to dark backgrounds. I'd love to see more god prints.
Comment on the scope and scale of the development of ideas in response to the brief?
Strengths
Huge range of ideas being developed.
Suggestions
Might need narrowing down slightly. 1 media maybe? (my note: NO, this will not happen.) I think the project just needs a specific outcome to work to.
Comment on the visual quality of the final resolution.
Strengths
Visual quality of the prints is very high. The 3D stuff you're making is really interesting. Love the black and gold print.
Suggestions
Some of the drawings feel slightly rushed, would have been nice to see the prints without the watermark (my note: what is this refering to? Is this about the digital versions of A Midsummer Night's Dream inspired prints from last year?). Try some foil prints.
Comment on the effectiveness of the proposed resolution in response to the problem set.
Strengths
The idea of producing a body of work to begin with is working really well for you.
Suggestions
Is a book the most appropriate outcome? It seems that maybe an exhibition might be more appropriate, a book wouldn't do the prints justice. (my note: for the final exhibition the pieces will all be displayed etc but I am doing a book as well because I just want to tie all of my work together into a comprehensive collection).
Peer Review Feedback 2
Comment on the breadth of initial ideas produced in response to the brief?
Strengths
The project is quite personal to you, which is good because after graduation you probably want to get as much time to do things like this! A lot of ideas for end products- books, prints etc.
Suggestions
I think it would be good to experiment printing onto other things than just paper! Why not make cushions/home products with your prints on them. (my note: be aware that printed textiles know their craft and will be doing this)
Comment on the scope and scale of the development of ideas in response to the brief?
Strengths
There is potential to do a lot of things with this brief which is really good! - Could even propose to make more things based on your trip after graduation. Such as developing some home products with prints based on India- because I think it would really sell!
Suggestions
Really go wild with your ideas! There is just so much you can do with this! But maybe concentrate on the things you really want to do first - and do that excellently.
Comment on the visual quality of the final resolution.
Strengths
Moving onto lino printing is really good- there is some really nice mark making going on! Also forces you to think about using shapes too instead of just lines!
Suggestions
I like the beginnings of your Indian Elephant. It reminds me of the decor things that can be put in children's bedrooms. Maybe you could explore this type of work more - make plushies or something!
Comment on the effectiveness of the proposed resolution in response to the problem set.
Strengths
The yoga prints are really good - all of them are actually! I can see them displayed in places that teach yoga, they have that feel to them.
Suggestions
As your project is really personal. I think that what you have proposed to do so far is quite effective for impproving and building up your image making skills.
Jamie Mill's Feedback
- Translation of photographs into printmaking.
- Colour choices and scale are great - BE AMBITIOUS.
- Initial sketching/ trials and ideas?
- Next steps with lino? Reductive? More colours?
- Dan Howden, Jonny Hannah.
- Reportage - something particular you are trying to say?
- Events? Moments? People?
- Drawings into lino- process - elevation, how do you translate the strengths in your drawings into the prints?
- Yoga poses could work as a series - feels quite seperate though - this is not a bad thing, more commercial.
- FOCUS ON: Evoking meaning rather than presenting the truth.
Self Evaluation
I think my prints and mark making works well and I will capitalise on this by creating prints from drawings as reference and by creating loads of reportage work! Quick and expressive drawings.
I think my colour palette and stock could be improved which will benefit my work as it will elevate the whole artwork to a higher quality if the stock is improved to a higher standard.
Next time, I would use better stock and coloured ink and also try different techniques like reductive lino from this I would achieve a higher quality item and a more visually interesting print.
What have I learnt by responding to this brief and why is it important?
What? The media used really impacts the content/concept.
Why? It all works together to evoke a feeling.
What? Mark making is crucial.
Why? Especially in reportage - it reflects my own interpretation of the world and the shapes I see.
What? Large scale drawings and paintings.
Why? It creates an environment almost. The scene takes in the audience a lot more at this larger scale.
What have I gained from this peer feedback session?
Everyone likes the analogue work - prints and large scale drawings. They like the idea of cropping/stitching/multimedia etc. Better stock and colour combinations. They weren't fans of digital versions.
