Mid Point Review Critique

It was good to see some of my peers work and their progress. Not being on campus has been very difficult both inspirationally and socially, and of course not seeing everyone’s progress and artwork, other than in our small Zoom tutorial peer group sessions. We are all so diverse in our ideation and styles. The few times I have been to campus to collect materials I have seen a handful of other students, and we’ve had a brief opportunity to discuss our projects with each other.

My mid project review with Camilla Pugh went well, I was nervous that I’d not achieved much to evidence to date in the development of my final artwork.  However, I was pleased that I seem to be on track. I combined my ideas for the artwork layers, surface patterns and sepia pen drawings onto a small test piece of ordnance survey map, (approx 40cm x40cm), my final map will be A2 landscape size. I wanted the layers to be visible, down to the actual map background. It worked really well and came together exactly as I had visualised.
