Tutorial Feedback

Feedback:

• Powerpoint plan looks good but at the moment I am saying quite a lot - structure fine. Maybe just reduce it down a little and only say three points under each header/ say more about each. Focus on: PAST - ETHOS - FUTURE structure. (past = what went right and wrong lists / ethos being a research driven practice)
• This interest in research into place, objects etc. could be interesting to explore in COP - look into Rachel Lillie (going to places, finding stories etc. is a strong focus of her practice)
• Concept is fine/ limited colour palette is fine. Like mix between drawing, photographs, block shapes - overlay is really interesting. Definitely do not do landscape with just block colour - bring in photographs etc. maybe do the skulls as a photo/ overlay with plants?
• Instead of drawing shapes as vectors cut bunny shapes out of back paper and scan
• Don't bother screen printing - not enough time, focus on making image instead and you can always point it next week for the show
• To print photos - try won't print - turn it into a bitmap (under the bitmap settings you can turn it into a halftone

I definitely am happy with the feedback that I received and for the first time ever I have come out of a tutorial with less work than I went in with whoop!!

I think that I am going to focus on the landscape concept rather than the more abstract map one but I am going to start bringing in photos/ reducing shapes down rather than trying to split the photograph into three colours (go the more abstract route). I am going to start by doing some more sketchbook roughing then I'll cut out my main block shapes and scan them in/ start experimenting with bitmap.
