Assessment for print block

Today is the assessment for the second technical block. After displaying my own works, I walked around the studio and had a look other's works. Their works are really fabulous. It made me feel like I'm not good enough and my peers have all done much better than me. But some of my classmates appreciated my print works, which made me feel happy and get confidence again. 

In this print technical block, I learned a lot. I learned some basic but really useful skills of Photoshop and Illustrator, and I also tried to mix chemical colours and dye silk on a screen. I really enjoyed this technical block, I am looking forward to the next technical block as well.

Tutorial and Weave Assessment Result

It was really nervous before tutorial today. This tutorial is about the first technical block assessment yesterday, I got this result sheet during the tutorial.

My mood is quite complex when I saw this result sheet. I was happy, because I didn't get any "Fail"; but I felt upset about the only "D" for research part. I asked my tutor Mel Bowles that is it normal to get grade "C" or "D". She told me the grade "C" means good for this stage, but if you get a "D", it means there was not enough work, you must work harder. Then Bowles and I discussed my research part which I didn't do well. After viewing my sketchbook, Bowles said I did a good job on images and samples making but I need more drawing for research. To answer it, I showed my drawing to her, and told her I didn't present my drawing book yesterday, because I was really confused what I should present for the assessment. Bowles told me that I should show my drawing on presentation and revised my score to "C". She also said the information for us to prepare our presentation may be not so clear, it must be improved next time.

I think it is good for us to find out our strengths and weaknesses by assessment and tutorial. After this feedback, I had confidence to work and got the idea what should I improve  next time. It is really helpful for developing myself.

Technical Block Assessment

Today is the first assessment for last two technical block weeks. All of us should display our samples and development works on DG17 before 10am.

It was really exciting to look at all the works of my peers. I think everyone has done amazing work. After viewing the works from other three subjects, I really look forward to experiencing them.
