Evaluation Writing

At first, I found it difficult about what I needed to do for the cube, but then I found it clear that I had to produce a six sided cube with the still life, self-portrait, Zentangles and three typographies. My first thoughts on receiving the assignments brief was quite interesting because I wanted to see where I’m at. I collected some information from different artistic views and I put it in my own words. Some of the researches I took for e.g. Van Gogh‘s drawings were line and tonal, sketches were contour and gestured lines, some of his paintings were cross hatch.

I found that seeking and handling the information was quite difficult because when I needed to find the specific information for each one especially Egon Schiele, his work that he has done has mostly produced mono drawings and mono paintings, it took me quite a long time to find some of the information I needed. I think that the elements of my research that inspired my designs were the shape and form and the colour of the line drawings and still life’s I done.

To be honest, before I didn't think my designs would be high quality, but then at the end, I was more than satisfied with some of my designs which I put more quality into. On the other hand, I do feel that I could have improve some of my work to a high standard like improving every single mistake that I have committed on each side of my cube, that way I would have got more marks on my assignment, instead It could be the other way round.                              

 

Before we started our I was finding it difficult to pick my designs because some of them were simply not good enough, then I had to create better new designs for my final piece. I planned out each of my designs and I picked out the best six drawings to put on each side of my cube. The techniques, process and materials I use are three primary colours and those three colours to produce secondary and tertiary colours by using acrylic paint.


I think during my time at GCSE (BTEC Art and Design Level 1), it was easier because if you didn't understand what you needed to do, you will be provided with a lot of help from your teachers. However, at the moment BTEC Art and design Level 3, it's much harder because there is a lot more work given to you by more than one teacher, mostly I have to work independently on my assignments that are given to me to do. 


Before when I couldn't come on Saturday to complete my work which Ieft me with one more day to go. On that point, I thought that I wasn't going to make the cube on time. On the last day, I managed to solve all my problems by finishing off the detail on each side of my cube, in a way that made me produce my assignment to a high standard.   


If I had Extra time, the changes that I would make would be to spend a lot on each side at a time. I just completed my work on time. to me, I think I rushed one of the sides which was the last side I did before finishing my cube.
