I have really enjoyed experimenting and exploring my
skills as a practitioner within this module. I think that before I started this
module, I was very restricting of myself and how I did art. So during this
module it has really helped me to open up and try new things. It has given me
the confidence to test things out and figure out ‘what makes a good drawing’.
2. Which principles/ theories of image making have
you found most valuable during this module and how effectively do you think you
are employing these within your own practice?
Thinking
about composition has really helped in my practice. I think learning about
composition and how it can be used has helped me to create new pieces of art
with background, focus and different lines of sight. I find it really
interesting how you can draw the eye to a certain part of a piece, and I would
like to carry on practicing this principle.
3. What strengths can you identify within your Visual
Language submission you capitalise on these?
I think I have begun to not be scared of the idea of
roughing, and not being too precious with my sketchbooks. To open up more and
explore different things without them having to look ‘perfect’ and ‘pristine’
which is how I think I first started to make work in my sketchbook, but by the
end I think I am more open with my sketchbook and use it more as a tool rather
than a perfect piece of art.
4. What areas for development can you identify within
your Visual Language submission and how will you address these in the future?
I
think I would still yet to learn to be more open with my sketchbook. Although I
think I have come a long way from the beginning of the semester, I want to be
able to experiment more and try new things out without being scared of it going
wrong or looking ‘ugly’; or more what I define to be ugly. I think I have
opened my eyes to a new way of looking at drawing, and how I can use it as an
experimental tool, so I would like to try and continue this practice and
improve myself as a practitioner.
5. In what way has this module informed how you
deconstruct and analyse artwork (whether your own or that of contemporary
practitioners)?
I think this module has really helped me in defining
what is good drawing. Before I was very critical of even things that just weren’t
proportionally sound, but now I catch myself thinking ‘what if this arm was a
little bit longer, it would look fun’. I have begun to have more fun making
artwork rather than worrying about it having to be perfect. I also think I have
got more interested in different practitioners, rather than relying on artists
who just work with proportional figures and complex drawings. I have found a
new love for the out of the ordinary!
