26/10/15 - Feedback

This week I was extremely motivated to produce multiple samples using different techniques that I have been taught, or come across so far; large, quick, messy, neat etc. However, From today’s feedback I feel very isolated and picked on. From my peers, I received great feedback on my work as a whole before discussing as a group. This really motivated me and made me feel confident to give the presentation. However, as I was about to give the presentation, I did not get the chance to explain my work, context or my reasons for  material choices, colours or techniques.

I have been told that I have not done enough work and that nothing links together. I have been working my ass off all this week. Compared to other people reasons to why they chose the materials they chose ‘I don’t know why I chose that material’ and me explaining that I like working with tough material seems stupid because this unit is called ‘intentions’. Should you not have the ‘intention’ to create what you ‘intend’?

Another criticism I received was that I was not going out and exploring with material when I blatantly went out and bought eight sorts of materials that had different body to them.

I know that there will obviously be tough choices ahead but receiving 3 different harsh comments during feedback on my work, commenting ‘don’t like it, not enough work’ when I produced samples I feel they linked really well and improved one by one.

last week I was guided to using clean white materials and avoiding black. This week I get told to use more black backgrounds. being told I work to small on samples so I should go big and now being told to go back to small squares. feel extremely confused as I receive comments that go backwards and forwards.

This week I set my self a task of going into the dye labs and exploring with my white background materials. I linked my masking tape drawing sample with the dyes which I preferred as it linked well with the colour theme and the drawings. On the other hand, not many people thought it linked very well as the white background was much clearer and cleaner.
