Feedback from Peers

As I stated in the previous blog post, my class peer assessed each others work in order for us to explore how to respond to set backs and constructive criticism and use them to improve our work which would also give us a wider understanding of the A2 assessment objectives. This post is to show what constructive criticism and feedback my peers gave to me.

Develop by Victor

Molly's work is good when looking at the technical aspect. Original ideas may be consolidated too early and a tendency to reiterate ideas is present. With her development it gets to a point where the ideas are stuck in one space and a new way of developing and refining should be found. She also uses the same materials so she should try and go outside her comfort zone.

Experiment by Mustafa

Experimentation is presented in different media such sketches, paintings and digitally. When doing primary research, Molly could extend the materials used because most of it is done using acrylic paint and pencil.

Record by Stephanie

With Molly's work she uses a broad range of formal elements such as line, shape and colour with some of her work correlating together. She focuses mainly on colour for every piece of work since it seems that is her main focus of her children book character. It would be in her favour if she used a broader range of formal elements such as pattern and shape.

Overall feedback

Molly, find a new way of developing and refining ideas; Go outside of your comfort zone and take risks. You should extend the materials used – more paint, graphics software and printing techniques. Also use a broader range of the formal elements such as pattern and shape.

Thoughts about the lesson

I think that this lesson was beneficial for all students as it helped us get a much wider understanding of what we need to achieve in order to meet the A2 assessment objectives. It also enlightened us of what our peers thought we needed to do in order to improve our work and our grade.

I will think and act on this criticism in my future responses.
