Evaluation art
- 1. Evaluation Ben White – Art FMP
- 2. Production skills • Through out the course of the project, I planned only to use charcoal. This was because I quite like working with charcoal and it fit seemed to fit the apocalyptic theme well. Looking back through my finalized work, I now strongly agree that this was the correct decision. Only using this medium has also taught me a range of useful skills and information about it, for example, I have developed techniques that involve smudging the charcoal for effect and I have learnt that charcoal can be used to add quite a nice and unique shade to objects, surfaces and structures. • I believe my confidence and presentation skills have benefited from this project too as I am quite a shy person, so being able to successfully pitch my ideas to an audience has benefitted myself greatly.
- 3. Time Management • I believe my time management skills for this project were very well put together. This is because I managed to complete and stay up to date on my work each week and this meant that I would meet the deadline. I planned out my work so that I would be working right up to the deadline. This meant I would have to have completed my final piece and evaluation on the final week, which I was able to do in the time planned.
- 4. Financial • In a previous post, I concluded that the total cost for my work would be a total of £651. I believe this total is correct and works out to be just over double what the total would be at the minimum wage of £5.13 per hour would earn. I believe that this is a fair amount for the amount of work I have produced and time I have spent on the project. An issue that may have arose would have been that I could have run out of charcoal, as it drains quite quickly, but luckily I found out that I had more than enough in the end.
- 5. Summary • I had also created 3 different ideas for my project, which were based of very different game and would used different mediums on each. I chose to create the apocalyptic art as I quite liked how I could be creative with existing cities of areas. I could look and New York for example and imagine it in a different perspective, which was quite interesting to try out. • I believe the majority of my work is well done. I have learnt a lot about the medium charcoal and how I can use it for greater effect. One other thing I have learnt is that I should keep a strong eye on the amount of charcoal I am using, as using too much can result in a dull, dark and barely visible image. Planning- wise, I believe I have effectively ensured that the time available was used properly. I have met the deadline and therefore am able to prove that my plan worked out well and did not require too much or too little work being produced, meaning I have completed as much as I can.
