Summative statement

The self-directed nature of the final year has been positive, I liked the freedom of getting on with briefs on my own, but knowing I could ask advice and seek reassurance from tutors if needed. I’ve taken their feedback forward as points to consider in future briefs.

Although I have enjoyed all briefs I have done, it was quite confusing and difficult at the start to know if the brief I decided to undertake would work out, if the ideas would be substantial, if they had the scope to really develop, and if they would be beneficial to my practice. This years brief have allowed me to develop my practice, I have a stronger ability now, from trying a variety of different subjects and outcomes, keeping my motivation on track, experimenting more with different elements of my practice taking the focal point.

I liked being able to tackle briefs that required different working strategies, ones with a  quick turnaround, or more research based projects that required more time, structure and organisation. I feel I have merged and developed techniques and used them in other briefs which has hopefully given me a strong connecting point, linking theory and practice in my work. This has enabled me to produce detailed and delicate work which makes reference to social contexts in an emotive manner, Elements I feel I have captured on an ongoing basis within my practice through the briefs I have experienced this year.
