2. Identification of least and most effective study skills
3. Proposal for studio work in Level 2
This semester I found learning most effective through critiques
and workshops. The group and silent critiques were great opportunities to receive
feedback and ideas for how to develop my work. The screen printing workshop was
also particularly effective for me, as I learnt a new skill which I really
enjoyed and returned to independently.
Learning was least effective when I focused on creating a
final product, rather than a series of work. As seen in my studio proposal
project: I had the ambition to create a large scale painting, which distracted
me from creating a body of work and developing my ideas.
My least effective study skills were research, relying heavily
on online research rather than benefiting from the resources available in
Lincoln. In level 2, I intend to take advantage of resources in the library and
get more involved outside of the studio, with more visits to galleries and
exhibitions, as well as taking advantage of guest speakers. Over the summer
break, I also intend to immerse myself in art in Norwich where I live, and
London where I intend to visit.
In level 2 I propose to use research collected over the
summer as basis for my studio work. Some ideas for what I would like to explore
include sculptural work, which I have briefly explored through art and reproduction
this module, as well as video and audio pieces, which is media I have not yet
worked with but have an interest in exploring.
