Questions i need to ask my self
Context- have i been looking at and writing about the proposed sources in my bibliography, have i looked at and if necessary redrafted my proposal and have i been referring my research back to my proposal.
I have not currently been looking at my bibliography, i need to make sure i look back at it and also make reference to the new things that i have been researching. I also need to look at different sources, magazines and TV, i think this would make my work more informed. I also need to keep referring back to my proposal as i have not been doing this. i might need to redraft part of my proposal; as i have started to look at different materials that i had not planned on using.
Research-how many sources have i looked at, have i been looking at a range of different sources and does it fit with my original idea. I need to do more research in to theories and artists and reference them better, evaluating them more critically.
Problem solving-have i been looking at the problems i have encountered throughout this project and looked at how i have overcome them and have i been looking at my theories and trying to solve the problems that have arisen because of these theories.I need to look at the problem of how i am going to display my ideas so far as the materials i have been using are quite fragile. I Also need to over come the theoretical problem of making my work communicate the ephemeral and the notion of the uncanny.
Planning and production- have i been referring to my action plan and looking in to my time management.
Practical skills-how good is my sculptures or photos, have i documented everything practical in my books, have i used a wide range of things and experimented with new things. I have not been referring to my action plan so i need to make sure i start to do this more regularly. I need to make sure my photos are better, the quality of them and that i edit them so that they are perfect. I also need to look in to ways of building my sculptures before i just make them as my cloud at the pop up show was rubbish and badly made. This means that i have to look at many different ways of using the materials and that if i use hot glue for example the joins are not visible and it is of all one thickness so that there are no week parts. I need to document better in my blog as i have not been recording everything as i am doing it i have sometimes been going back and writing about it after this could mean that i am missing parts out. I also need to experiment more with new materials, i proposed in my initial plan to experiment with expanding foam, i still intend on doing this as i have never used it before and i think it would be interesting to see how it comes out and what i can do with it.
Evaluation and reflection-how regularly am i updating my journal, am i evaluating my work throughout in a critical way. I need to update my journal more regularly and make sure that i write about all the little ideas i have even if i do not think they will be very good as it is important to show the development of my ideas. I think i need to be more critical in my evaluation of artist, refer to the sheet Jane gave out during one of her talks as this will help me to look in more depth at my own work as well.
Presentation-did i reflect on the church show and how my presentation as there, have i used a range of considered strategies, have i drawn a lot, documented everything, looked at ways of presentation in relation to the nature of my work, looked at what audience it is aimed at. I think i need to think more about how i am going to present my work, what would best show the nature of my work, as i am drawn to the use of suspension as i like how it manipulates the audiences view but this may not be the most effective way to communicate the ephemeral. I also need to think about the audience who are they going to be, i am only getting critiques and evaluations of my work by art minded people but there will be people who have not got the knowledge of art or artists as the show and so i need to keep that in mind.
