During the two-tutor critique it was
interesting to see other students work both in knit and print and hearing about
their concepts and direction of their work helped me to think more about where
I want to take my work. It was also helpful to have the advice of another tutor
who does not know my work as it sparked some new ideas.
I feel I could have communicated my
ideas more clearly during the presentation. I sometimes find it difficult to
remember everything I want to explain when going through samples and my work,
with just notes to guide me. I noticed that the print students had prepared
power point presentations and I think this could be something that would help
with communication, to prepare a few simple slides that order my thoughts and
make connections between my concept and samples. I was also impressed with how
professional the presentations looked.
The feedback was positive though; I was
pleased that my collection of samples worked well together as this is something
I am never sure of. There is plenty of room for development of my ideas, which
we discussed and now I know I am along the right lines I feel more confident to
push myself further with technique and colour.
We also talked about how I might move my
work into garments, thinking about deconstructing and reconstructing existing
garments to play with the idea of dress and traditional menswear associations.
I need to work on fashion illustrations and the technical side of garment construction,
as well, to communicate my ideas fully and with a professional finish.
