Sampling Evaluation 

At times I have found this project difficult, having the Christmas half term interrupting it in the middle made it a struggle for me to get into my work. I found at the beginning of the project before we went away i was eager to start something new and fresh, it was a chance for me to get my ideas flowing once again. I need to learn to be able to motivate myself in the future as often I can be easily distracted.

Overall with this project I am quite impressed at the new skill which I have acquired, the project has been a great learning process for me. There are a lot of areas of improvement that I shall take from this project in order to improve my next one. I know that I need to push myself to keep up my blog, when I get going with my blog it really helps me to generate work and analyse my project. Also I want to try and get the stamina that I started off with at the beginning of the project and make myself continue it throughout. I believe that I will be able to achieve this through generating large amounts of research this way I will always be exploring new ideas and giving myself inspiration to work from at all times.

I feel that the group projects that we have been set throughout this project have been quite inspiring for me and my work. They have encouraged me to look more at the colour that I use within a project and also what media I use to create these pieces. Why should I stick to using only paintbrushes, I need to branch out and stop limiting myself? 

At the start of this project my sketch book was very useful and a way for me to layout my work and then take new ideas from what I could see on the page. I think I’m quite good at laying out my work on a page, I was taught how to do this in my foundation year and I feel the way I present my work often highlights the potential.

I have experimented quite a lot with Photoshop and machine embroidery, I know I could have improved my sampling if I was to go on to mix the two medias together, I haven’t had a chance to do this yet however I will go on to try this in my next project.

Within this project I think I have improved on my drawing and mark making skills, experimenting with my drawing is something I shall continue to do in the future. However I know that if I was to start again I would aim to be a lot more motivated over the Christmas half term as I think the lack of time that I gave myself may have hindered my project.
