During both tasks groups, were sent out in London to collate inspired observation drawings of colour and pattern, whilst utilising a broad range of mediums and techniques. This was an exciting experience, due to the sheer amount of creative freedom it gave me, as well as a chance to explore mediums and art styles that I’m not accustomed too. For example, prior to this project my knowledge/ understanding of how to use watercolour paints were limited; however I was able to successfully create a watercolour piece of a Wisteria Sinesis flower, which I’m very proud of. On the contrary, I did have my challenges such as; applying other artists/ art styles to my own practices and creating detailed pieces. I also struggled during the ‘way of seeing and talking pattern’ task, as it pushed me out my comfort zone, which created resistance when forming patterns. However, I was able to engage well with others and my surroundings; creating over 20 inspired pieces of work conveying both themes. I noticed that my peers and I enjoyed the creative freedom of this project, which gave me a feeling of excitement and momentum to finish each task, as well as thoughts of how well executed this project is to break us into our studies. I can imagine this is how most artists perspectives see the world. Overall I really enjoyed this project, but next time I would research more styles to apply to my practices, to further my visual communication within my drawings.

I really like your creativity in drawing and I see that your work not only shows your fine drawing skills but also the use of collage with pictures. You have combined many different approaches in a way that I lack in my task. Each painting shows a very different theme and the inspiration is very good. In your paintings I see that you have taken great care to draw out the details of some of the objects and use them as inspiration to develop some of the prints. I think you are very open-minded and not limited to just painting, but you have added many elements that interest you. And I am very happy for you because you said that you enjoyed the project and that it brought you joy. Also, when comparing your 20 inspired pieces, it helped me to find a lot of my shortcomings and gave me inspiration for my future work. I hope to see more of your work sometime soon.

You have done both tasks perfectly and I can feel that you have taken this assignment very seriously. I could see that you had your own ideas for each painting and were showing others how well you could draw in a different way. The different but brilliantly created pieces are easy to get interested in and take a closer look at your work. Each painting has its own high light, which is a great start! What struck me most when I looked at your paintings was how much I liked your creativity in painting, I could see that your work showed not only your fine painting skills but also your use of collage with pictures.

You can continue to keep the same mentality and positive approach when completing your tasks now. I have also learnt from your work and have found many of my shortcomings. I would love to see more of your work sometime soon.
