About the Author- Roughs feedback and proposal

Today we had a mega crit, which was a great opportunity to gain some feedback on my initial roughs as well as seeing how everyone else in my class is working at the moment. Although I wasn't very happy with the quality or quantity of work I had to show, it was still good to understand what other people are thinking of the direction of my work

What have I learnt?
- I was trying to undertake a task that was too big- I need to really assess what I can achieve and pare down my workload if necessary to avoid stressing too much!
- Even if I don't think the quality of my work is very good at the moment, the ideas are the important foundation for any project
- To consider the basic elements right from the start, including composition and colour, as they are such an intrinsic part of my practice

What will I do next?
- Since I've changed to prints rather than a book, I need to explore how to make a substantial content for my prints, probably through roughing
- Start making prints- even if they're not going to be my finals, I just need to start trying different print techniques
- Establish at least 5 key themes which I want to explore
