Comment on the breadth of initial ideas produced in response to the brief:
Strengths
- good amount of work, lots of drawings
- really thrown self into the project
- identified prolific themes throughout the work & responding to them
Suggestions
- DO EVEN MORE
- Stay away from pencil and ink for a while - go straight in with gouache or acrylic or something.
- Do more work without outlines or sketches
- Make marks & Textures
Comment on the visual investigation and development of ideas in response to the brief:
Strengths
- Have investigated different paths (looking at illustrating stories as well as themes, combining the two etc)
- Development is looking good
- Have investigated themes within the work and developed different drawings from there
- Tried branching out from the cliche but also justifies use of cliche motifs and colour schemes
Suggestions
- Again DO MORE
- Try and do simpler stuff, don't over complicate things
- Merge stories and themes more
- Include more about the author's life - research and draw tuberculosis in its different stages.
Comment on the visual quality of the work in progress:
Strengths
- It's ok
- A lot of sketchy stuff
- Some nice media experimentation
Suggestions
- Needs some more media experimentation
- Refine work a bit more
- Spend some time on doing larger more refined pieces, based on already done drawings (Like what Emily has done)
- Thinking ahead to final process - a combination of mono print and lino print would be appropriate as it would give some spooky textures that reflect Poe's work.
Comment on the effectiveness of the work in progress in response to the set problem:
Strengths
- Capturing the feeling of Edgar Allan Poe's work
- Using consistent Motif's and imagery that work in response to the author
- There is potential
Suggestions
- Narrow it down to select motifs
- Keep experimenting
- Keep in mind the end process and making appropriate imagery for it (fiddly line stuff in lino would be a pain in the neck)
