Having submitted my first module of the first year, I am happy to have reached this first milestone. I feel proud of the work I have produced and feel I tried my hardest to address all the learning criteria via documentation on my studio practice blog. At the very beginning of the course I was surprised that the work I produced was to be documented via the blogger platform, as I was expecting a format more similar to that I experienced on the foundation at the Vernon Street building (including a studio notebook, critical journal, reflective planner etc.) I see both pros and cons to the blog format in that it allows me to quickly document my work more considerately in terms of language used and professional articulation of my ideas, however, in terms of producing and evidencing practical work I feel it is somewhat restrictive - work has to be scanned in or photographed which can occasionally be a time consuming process.
The knowledge I have gained previously through my A-Level course and foundation thereafter have unquestionably allowed me to feel like I have been provided with a good starting point on the course, all of which has been developed and enhanced in such a short space of time in the preliminary weeks of the course up until now. I am excited to learn more and progress, hopefully, to the best of
my ability.
Something I have noticed throughout critiques in the first module is a reoccurring comment of my work being 'the obvious response,' 'too obvious' or lacking in developed concept. I am struggling with this as I feel my responses have been concept driven and informed by the research I had undertaken, yet there must be something I am not seeing or perhaps I am being biased towards my own work. I am worried this negative feedback will result in me not achieving a grade of 70%, which in all honesty would seem like the end of the world to me due to the standard I have set myself for my aspirations at university.
