Weeks reflection 18th-22nd March 2019

This week i have been very productive, learning new skills due to 2 new workshops. This has allowed me to develop my skills and broaden my options of where i can go next with my project. I had recieved my feedback off my tutor after marking my rough book and sketchbook so far and have started working on those to make sure i am getting the best out of everything that i am producing. However, i had saw that i was off task with completing my edits due to the workshops and starting my work from them. This week coming, i wish to draw from my own edits, plan another photoshoot, complete the workshop tasks with contextuals and mount up ready for a hand in for thursdays lesson x

Todays reflection overall, 18th March 2019

Today i had planned to be as productive as i could. I had finished all my artist copies to a high standard in vikki's lesson which was something i had planned to do. During liz's lesson i had planned to work on any feedback from my assessment. However, i found that creating cyanotypes would be more useful as this was something i spoke about last week. These cyanotypes are the first time i had used this method and they turned out very well in my opinion. These are my best 2 that i had created and found that this technique was fun and could be used again further down in the project. In kates lesson, i noticed that i was very productive as i started to make edits inspired by Harris using the scanned cyanotypes. Overall, i was on target with the tasks i wanted to complete today x

Weekly reflection (11th-15th)

During last week i had found myself being rushed towards of the week as i had a deadline on thursday. This shows me that i need to work on my time management, ensuring that i am completely organised. I had started to tick off things that i had completed based on my project plan, this helped me to see where next i should go with the project. I had began my basic edits (black and white) ready to create David Theron edits and printed these off successfully onto glossy paper. I have started edits for Harris to which i will print off also on glossy paper after discussing which ones are best to work from with my tutor. For the week ahead i want to start drawing from the edits i have made to make sure i am stay on track. I also want to plan a photoshoot based on case studies so that i can get more ideas to work from. Cyanotypes are something that i want to experiment with at some point in this week

In today’s i have gathered my cyanotypes, scanned them in and had started to create edits inspired by Henrietta Harris. I felt that i had been productive as i had taught myself a new skill that became very handy during this lesson and will be useful to use in the future.

Harris edits- 18th march 2019

This is my process of creating one of my edits inspired by Harris using my cyanotypes which i had scanned in before hand. I had found this very successful as I didn't expect my edits to look similar to Harris’. Overall i am very happy with how this had turned out and i am ready to create my own drawing from this x

Reflection of week 3 (25th feb)

As this is the third week, i habe noticed that i havent been as productive as i wouldve liked to have been. This is down to the favt thag inwas behind with other work which i wanted to finish beforehand. However i had highlighted the work which i have not completed throughout the week and made a checklist knowing that this was the next important part to do to make sure i was staying on task with the project.

Weeks reflection of the 25th feb - 1st march 2019

As this was the first week back after half term, this allowed me to really focus on what i would like to do as my project. After having my 1:1 tutorial with my specialist tutors I found myself get really stuck in with the work that i had been given off them. I had found useful artists which i have made a start on the artist copies, this illustrated to me some ideas for my photo shoot plan which i still need to complete. After looking at my action plan of the last week i had noticed that i had not been on target with tuesdays work as i had my tutorial with specialst tutors giving me work which was set for me to complete for the rest of the week. However, i have hightlighted this and made sure this was something that i complete at the start of the comensing week. After having a peer assessment session on friday, this opened up to me how other students see my work and what they think i can do to improve all of my research work so far. Week 3 i am going to plan and take my 1st photoshoot inspired my the artists. I am going to make sure all work i have been set so far is completed before starting other work as this was soemthing i found distracting and fell behind with in previous units.

Process of artist copy

This is my process of creating my artist copy. Originally i had scanned this image in to my email, however when i turned up the level using Photoshop, the details in the face were still not showing. I decided to photograph my work instead. This technique worked better for me and I began to edit this reflecting on Harris’ work. I had used the multiply blending mode allowing the pink background to come through the portrait.

This is my first artist copy, for me to develop my work i will scan my copy into Adobe Photoshop and use a pink background.
