Assessment, feedback and reflection in response to Unit 1 completion

My personal general feedback from Unit 1 which overall I’m really pleased with. I’m also very happy with how aligned my 'strengths' and 'Even better ifs' are with how I predicted they may be. Allowing me therefore to acknowledge that I can not only assess and review my work well, have a good understanding of the assessment criteria but also that I am aware in myself of where i need to develop and grow most. 

 

I will now look to refer to this feedback through my next project to allow myself to ensure I grow and develop in the places required. Allowing me to become overall a much more rounded and developed artist and designer.

 

My personal SMART targets:

1) S- Reduces repetition in annotation and information over my blog and sketchbook

M- Within next project 'Creative Conscience' when writing and displaying work across my sketchbook and blog

A- I will practice just having very short, initial and brief annotations and notes within my sketchbook and then writing my more developed and in depth annotations within my blog. I will reduce the tendency to overwrite and repeat by trialling a method of using post it notes within my sketchbook to record ideas I want to cover in my blog, which i can then remove upon doing so.

R- This will allow me to tackle one of my Unit 1 'Even better ifs' allowing me to progress as a student and designer

T- I intend to have begun to develop and achieve this by the end of Unit 2 and its assessment

 

2) S- Practice my observational drawing techniques to improve visual langue skills

M- Whenever I have the opportunity to be able to visually represent an idea, concept of visual I wish to record

A- I will consciously try and consider alternative more visual methods of displaying ideas and concepts throughout my project to allow my skills to develop in this area. As well as allowing myself to develop alternative methods to be able to visualise and communicate my ideas.

R- This will allow me to tackle one of my Unit 1 'Even better ifs' allowing me to progress as a student and designer

T- I intend to have begun to develop and achieve this by the end of Unit 2 and its assessment

 

3) S- Reduce the levels of stress created when leaving for college in the morning to be in on time

M- Every onsite day I attend college 

A- I will try and get up more promptly and effectively. This may be through choosing not to snooze my alarm so much, reducing time spent on my phone or even simply getting an earlier night the day before to allow me to get up more effectively.

R- It will allow me to come into college with my stress levels lowered and not have to cause any rush or stress within the journey into college 

T- I intend to try and get this working better and resolved within the first few weeks of Unit 2 and create a much more stress free and healthy routine

 

(General feedback across the whole class to also consider and make sure I'm keeping on top of and up to date on)
