Tutor Feedback – Part 4, Assignment 4 & my reflection
Comments on Feedback
I realise how safe I am being with the media, now that I look back and I need to look at how I can change this. I do struggle with this and so this will be difficult but something that I must do. I will research other media that I could use to make my work more interesting or ways that I could use media.
I need to work more on being less perfect but keeping the honesty in my work. I am working on this but finding it difficult perhaps this is due to my lack of confidence in my work and so I stick to the things that I know I can do well. Hopefully as my confidence improves I will feel more able to experiment and not worry too much about my work being perfect. Being more dynamic is also a problem and this is probably due to the same lack of confidence. Perhaps if I work more in my sketchbook and try things out more my confidence will increase and I will understand that making mistakes is part of the process and not something that should be avoided. This is probably where the problem lies, that I hate to make mistakes viewing the time spent on something as wasted if I make mistakes. This however is not true but where the learning comes from, I just need to have the confidence to take more risks regardless of the outcome. Hopefully I can start to change this, I feel my confidence has increased since I started, it just needs to carry on improving.
I seem to make things too neat and it is probably my not wanting to make mistakes too. If I can loosen up and not worry so much I am hoping that this will improve. Backgrounds are not working with the foreground as much as I would like, I hadn’t really noticed that but I can see it now and it’s something that I need to bare in mind more in the future.
