Response to assignment 3 feedback

To begin this response I would like to say I am happy with how my overall assignment 3  turned out, with all the chaos going on in the world and the amount of over time I had to do at work due to staff going off I was happy I completed this assignment to the best I could at the time, it took me a while but I do think I am proud of what I did achieve.

A majority of my feedback was based around  the fact my compositions to look at the buildings were quite complex and I do think this is due to me doing my studies off taken photographs I had from past holidays due to not being able to leave the house. I will take this feedback and try my best to not use photographs to base my art off but to look at the study for real and get the lighting as correct as I can and look at the angle that suits myself best. I had feedback that I tend to make big plans for my work and then they don’t turn out as I had originally planned, I do think this is true and I am beginning to learn I have to give myself more time to focus on the art I want to achieve and let myself reach that level instead of talking about it and not giving myself room to do it.

I also gathered from this feedback I need to look into my tones and not exaggerate the shading in the wrong places and to really see where the light hits, it is harder to do this with looking through a taken image but I will improve and take this onboard. It was also spoken in my feedback I should look into gathering more artist research and take inspiration off them and look into how other artists show detail and tones throughout their work. It was also mentioned that my work is more of an illustrative style than observational and this might be my own style coming out, I do sometimes wonder if that is my style before this feedback so it was nice to hear someone think that. I do think I also try to do observational but I like to do things my own way too. I think there is always room for improvement and I will take all these different points. I also agree that if I don’t think something did work I should try again and not just take my first result, I do think this was more of a time issue than a it’ll do attitude.

I do also want to take more time to do independent studies and sketch in my free time to really get up that skill. I do draw in my spare time but it’s different subjects to what I’m focusing on at the minute but I perhaps will include these in my research or skill building type thing.

All in all I am happy with the feedback I received I do always think there is room for improvement and I will continue to spend time correcting things I can do better. I enjoyed doing this assignment and I will take positivity and TIME into this next part!
