- Tutor was generally pleased and positive, especially with the scrapbook, which she had had most time to look at
- Need to become more efficient in referencing research on work, and vice versa – just a note can be enough
- Consider using a colour wash as a frame or a background, and draw over the top
- Also consider putting down rough areas of tone and do line drawing over this (as, e.g. in the bark, moss and lichen line drawing)
- Drawing from unusual angles, as in the house interior drawings, is going well; tutor particularly liked:
- the one from the top of the stairs – maybe try again with better foreshortening
- The sketch in the bedroom with diagonal bed worth also working up, maybe in charcoal?
- Tutor was interested in the research referencing “meaningful objects” – explore (both research and trying out) a self-portrait made from meaningful objects
- Also reference to research – the curved staircase – consider a picture which contrasts correct/incorrect perspective
- The inside/outside contrast, and light, are possible aspects of interest for me to develop
- Saying I can’t draw fabric! – task to draw a screwed up piece of paper as a start; also using a charcoal background and rubber are helpful with folds and fabric
- Try more pastels and more charcoal
- Don’t worry about my “scribbly” style – can be used to create tone – need to find a way to use what I naturally do – embrace what I am! – don’t just focus on meeting the course tick-boxes
- Think more about the surface I am working on and what it can do and whether I need to adapt it
- Assignment 2 picture – she had hoped for more on the basis of the work that had gone before (e.g. the reflection in the lamp, which she really liked), and frankly I so had I – we discussed how I fell into the final piece and found myself a bit trapped in it by time constraints – suggestion was to re-work it in a different medium to give it some zip, possibly considering some asymmetrical cropping
- Target: I chose “work more expressively” – make the tasks suit me, not me suit the tasks – make my style and materials do what I want them to do.
