Evaluation of my work and Assesment Plan

How I plan to present my work

Presentation for assessment

I have been looking at how I'm going to present my work for assessment, I have selected the works that I like best and I am conscious of overcrowding the walls which is what I have been known to do, but I don't want to go to much the other way and have not enough on there. I have practised this in the space that I am having for assessment the only difference is that the walls will be 8ft rather that 6ft tall so I will just have to re centre what I am presenting so it's at eye level and in the middle.

I have selected these works for two reasons the first is there my most recent, but the second is I feel they are my most successful as well. I think they all look good together and work as a series that they were made in. Obviously they two large canvases are a pair and they will be in one section and then the paint sculpture will be spilt over two boards and then the last board will be the three small paintings that run in a column downwards in series. I think by presenting these three you can see the development, but also you can clearly see which one is the final piece.

Evaluation of my work

I think that my work this term has flowed quite well and you can see quite clearly where it has come from, it has come a long way from my initial research on different types of mental illness and the links between mental illness and creativity. I have developed my work a lot and have pushed it to go further, I have created several bodies of work that you can clearly see the developments from.

I think that I have done well to try out different ways of working and different methods in my experimenting. My work had got progressively better throughout the project. I have done a substantial amount of artist research to help both support my work and to further develop my ideas throughout my project.

However I think that I could have maybe done a bit more in depth artist research, the research that I have done it just a summary of the parts of that artist that I am initially interested in. I think that also in the start of my project my ideas where a bit ropey and I could have used the three weeks at the start of term in a better way than I did and then I would have been more on my way when teaching started. I think I have learnt a lot this term about putting my work into context because I didn't do that last term and I got marked down for it so hopefully that is something that I have defiantly improved on this term.

What has been important to me this term is realising what my work is about and playing around with it and finding different ways that I can put my ideas across through different methods and ways. I have developed a process which my work is made in and have kept it consistent. It is exciting that I still have many ideas and I can take them forward into next year.
