Reflection on tutor feedback for assignment 5
Following my final tutorial at level 1, I feel a greater sense of confidence going forward, however, I am mindful of the fact that this is just the start of my creative journey. My tutor outlined my strengths and weaknesses throughout. Following his comments, I felt vindicated in my choice of subject and medium. He urged me to develop a broader consideration when contrasting each piece of work. This will assist me in establishing my own innovative sculptural style. My tutor identified the stand out works as being ‘Convenience of Toxicity’ and ‘Hardcore Pacifier’. Accordingly, he states that these pieces demonstrate my creative voice. He was particularly impressed with my choice and use of Billy Bragg’s song in my video of ‘Convenience’. He felt that the song resonated with the subject.
Upon the advice of my tutor, I will endeavour to sustain a connection with my sculptural work whilst working on Creative Writing 2. Furthermore, I will attempt to blend ideas from across each practise. Despite my tutor’s analysis of influential artists, I need to go further. As I progress on to level 2, I need to dig deeper and wider. I need to expose connections between different artists and cultural shifts. It is suggested I start by investigating late 1980’s Britart movement and its connections to Hogarth, satire and Surrealism. As suggested, I will scrutinize my works strengths and weaknesses and factor them into the process of reflection. Furthermore, I will aim to sustain a wider view of culture that link concepts inspired by and learnt via Creative Arts Today.
