Module Evaluation

Conclusion

Initially the most daunting of all the modules for me during this degree course to date, due to the fact that I really thought that I would not have the imagination, knowledge or speed to achieve an image to the standard that I would be satisfied with in such a short space of time. It is not possible for me to have been more wrong about this. I am delighted with the works I produced for this module and can say with confidence that I think it is some of the best work I have accomplished so far. It has shown me that with the right experience, tools, research, practice and support it is possible to execute a high standard of artwork in a short space of time. I think that I have demonstrated a proficient use of a diverse range of creative skills which I feel confident about using again in the future.

The workshops were well devised to prepare us for the final illustration for Olio 11. The support from the tutors was excellent and it was especially helpful that one or both of them were available whenever needed. The peer reviews were also interesting, receiving and giving feedback was an invaluable experience it is unlikely we will participate in outside in the real world; not quite on this scale, (around 40 students and several tutors).

This has been my most rewarding and fulfilling module, the culmination of all the skills I have learned on the course, so far, fully realised and executed with confidence and flair. I feel well equipped to embark on my children's book illustrations and am looking forward to learning how to put in all together and promote myself with a professional portfolio in the upcoming modules.
