I think there is a strong synthesis between my practical and written projects. I have also demonstrated a good understanding of theories relating to Gestalt psychology so far in my work.
How will you capitalise on it?
Use the now basis of understanding of these principles to be more experimental or loose in image-making processes.
What do you think could be improved?
Generally I just need to produce more work! In order to do this I think the best thing is to be more experimental and start using media that will give a sense of craft or visual quality to these otherwise simplistic images - such as mono-print, gouache, ink, screen-print.
How will this be beneficial?
Once I have produced a larger body of work, then I can evaluate more effectively how my own practice is reflecting theories evaluated in my written essay. As well as progress forward into making something more refined towards the completion of the project.
What do you need to revise/reconsider?
In order to progress forward I need to start using this project more to benefit my own practice, rather than just illustrating theories that I am expressing in my essay. At the beginning I spoke of using this project to improve my craft and find a way of working or visual language that reflects me as a creative practitioner - this is what I need to go back to.
What will this achieve?
In using this project as an exploration of my own visual language I think this will not only benefit me, but also give a more clear distinction of purpose between the written and practical elements of the research project.
Things to do leading on from this crit:
- Create a series of mono-prints or mono-print textures exploring principles of harmony or visual unity.
- Reflect on what kind of images you want to make.
- Try and understand what rules of composition are more important/useful to your practice.
