1. What learning have you inherited through
this module and how has it impacted on your own understanding of professional
practice? Consider yourself as a student at University as much as an
illustrator
|
|||||
|
I think it has helped me to understand the
professional side of illustration, and allowed me to see how I’d fit into
this industry after my degree. It doesn’t feel a foreign as it did before I started
the course. This module has also helped me to be more organised, and manage
my time and work load a lot better.
|
|||||
|
2. What approaches/
types of research have you found most valuable over this module?
Why did they
have such an impact?
|
|||||
|
I think I’ve found books and exhibition visits the
most useful. Going out and finding something in a book or seeing a new exhibition
has been so much more rewarding I think, because it makes me feel like I’m
actually doing something productive with my time without ‘working’ as such. I
also think going to exhibitions I didn’t know anything about was really good,
sometimes they were awful to be fair but other times I was really pleasantly
surprised and even came across something new that I liked.

|
3. In what way
has PPP informed the way you work in other modules and your illustration
practice as a whole?
During my other modules I think because of PPP I’m
more aware of how I’d make a career from the work I make, rather than just
making it to just get a grade.

4. What
weaknesses can you identify in your PPP submission and how will you address
this in the future?
|
|||||
|
Although I’ve
looked at a vast amount of practitioners, I think I could’ve utilised my Pinterest
account more than I
did, I think this would’ve helped me to see more of what is current. I think
I could’ve engaged with other artists a little more, even if this was just in
class. But I think this would really benefit me, and get me and get me out of
my comfort zone more by talking to people I wouldn’t necessarily talk to.
5. What
communities of practice and professional contexts do you intend to
investigate further as you approach level 5? Why do they appeal to you?
·
I’ve recently had some of my work chosen to be shown
in a publication about rising creatives in the north east, so I’d really like
to branch out like this a lot more.
·
I’d like to be more involved with the SOLO Arts
group in Sunderland a lot more, and help curate exhibitions, as well as
meeting like-minded individuals.
·
I want to continue going to as many exhibitions as
I can, even if I don’t know much about them, because this will give me the
opportunity to engage with other artists.
·
I want to continue to use the studio a lot more in
my free time, just because I find working in a creative environment very
rewarding and enjoyable.
·
I’d like to try and set up an Etsy shop over the
summer, and put my work out there a little more, rather being so hesitant
about it.

The evaluation of your work is an important part of
the assessment criteria and represents a percentage of the overall grade. It
is essential that you give yourself enough time to complete your written
evaluation fully and with appropriate depth and level of self-reflection. If
you have any questions relating to the self-evaluation process speak to a
member of staff as soon as possible.
|
|||||
A copy of
your end of module self evaluation should be posted to your studio practice
blog. This should be the last post before the submission of work and will
provide the starting point for the assessment process. Post a copy of your
evaluation to your PPP blog as evidence of your own on going evaluation.
