- What media do you think would look best for my animation stings? e.g. paint or pen line.
- Do you think I should include quotes from my texts (in printed pictures) below the print/around it/next page?
- Do you think the colour scheme in my practice prints work with the magical A Midsummer Night's Dream theme?
Feedback:
- Really lovely drawing exploration - would be cool to see more of your print development
- Sketchpad is great, can see youve done a lot of observational. Lot's of experimentation too.
- I am confused what are you producing towards your final again?
- Great scratch effect on the lino prints.
- Look at Charlotte Smith moving GIFs
- Jan Klassen - light
As a peer group we went around the room looking and commenting on each others work. This was really good to see what level everyone was up to and the quantity and quality of work across the class. I thought everyone's projects looked really good and it really reminded me how much experimental work I need to produce. It also helped to see the different uses of media used across the class; I really liked a technique where the student had stuck down tin foil and then stuck cut out paper over the top. It created a really nice metalic effect and seemed easier to create it that way than cutting out the tin foil itself. This is a technique I would like to experiment with for my animation work as I want to include metallic media to emphasis the magical theme in the play.
We then focused on individuals work with a partner and reviewed their sketchbook and developmental work and their blogs.
The feedback I received:
Comment on the practical development of work for the Moving Pictures Brief. Is there sufficient evidence of practically investigating selected processes and techniques.
Lots of story boarding.
Good experimentation with media for story boarding it that is your intended aesthetic for final animations. Maybe simplify story boards, do some concept sketches to get the aesthetic down and make a short. Bit more explanation on the blog posts as well.
Comment on the practical development of work for the Printed Pictures Brief. Is there sufficient evidence of practically investigating selected processes and techniques.
Evidenced extensive research/thumbnailings.
Not fully clear on ideas for final result; only a few lino tests of one design; more extensive investigation required in medium.
12 prints seems ambitions, choose strongest themes (6-8) consider other options that might sit better with your thumbnails.
Comment on the clarity with which the development of concepts, ideas and practical solutions has been documented on the studio practice blog.
Lots of contextual references but blog posts need explanation so we know what we're looking at. Try and start using ISSU to tidy blog up. Try and reduce amount of text to relevant points- quite hard to follow- make more regular posts.
Comment on the extent to which the planning of time and resources has been effectively considered in order to enable the production of the proposed work in the time available, (are the action plans and project management sheets specific with regards to workload, deadlines and timescales?)
Cut down amount of prints you propose to do in relation to work you already have allocate time to finalise print compositions and printing and don't forget about animation.
What suggestions can you make

What suggestions can you make
Strengths
- Lots of experimentation.
- Strong concepts.
- Imagery taken from texts.
- Lot's of blog posts.
- Direct these stings more in to the final direction.
- Pick out strongest and make work more concise.
- Need to be more concise - more pics, less texts.
Overall group feedback for over the Christmas holidays: WORK SMART!
- Clearly identify your work.
- Labels - make sure your work is clear and that the module code is in front of 'studio brief 1' etc.
- Organised - Physically separate and order. E.g. reference images etc in a folder.
- Evaluate on blog - especially pictures.
- Production issues must be taken into account.
- Animation- watch World Stare Competition - simple is effective!
- Story boards- animation.
- Blog decisions and problem solving - everyday!
- All work evidenced - feedback and evaluate!
- Folders for documents.
- DO AN END OF MODULE FORM EVALUATION - NOW!
