Peer Assesments

For our lesson on Tuesday 15th October we peer assessed each other's work in order for us to explore how to respond to set backs and constructive criticism and use them to improve our work. This would also give us a wider understanding of the A2 assessment objectives. 

We focused on one particular assessment objective for each peer to asses their work. I focused on 'develop' for Mustafa's work, 'experimentation' for Stephanie's work and 'record' for Victor's work. This post is to show what constructive criticism I gave to my peers.

Develop: Mustafa's work

Mustafa's work is purposeful and he explores different ideas relating to his main theme of video game characters. He chooses one specific thing about a character that has already been made, and he focuses on it and creates it using his own style while doing it in much more detail than he would by creating a whole character and not adding as much detail. I think that this is very successful as it improves his techniques further. To develop his work, I think that he should bring all of the aspects that he thought were most successful of each response he has done to create his own video game character.

Experimentation: Stephanie's work

Although Stephanie has only used two materials, paint and pencil, her responses are still quite successful. To develop her work further, she should experiment with a range of materials and processes such as Illustrator and screen-printing. She has done a lot of work on Typography and experimenting with colour and pattern, but her overall theme is relating around the concept of interior design, to link all of her work together, she could create a few different typography designs which have been made using different colours and patterns.

Record: Victor's work

Victor has used a good use of the formal elements, especially tone and colour. He develops his characters using pencil, paint and Illustrator. Mostly, his work responds to Marvel characters such as Superman. I think that to develop his work further he should experiment and take risks with creating his own character and using different materials and techniques (such as screen printing) to develop these. Screen printing works well and helps to make the colours on a character stand out more, so I think that this technique would be very beneficial to him.
