Context of Practice: Mega Group Crit 19/11/18

The feedback I have received during this mega crit appears to be a lot more positive than the previous session which has aided me in wanting to progress further with my current idea of how animal testing may be reintroduced into the UK because of Brexit. I have been provided with new information which I haven’t considered myself throughout my research such as the use of more texture which could be handmade and altered digitally relating back to my research question.

I need to start finalising my ideas further. I often seem to get stuck in a rut of creating development work in my sketchbook but never exploring at a larger scale and making more ‘final’ pieces which a peer has pointed out in the feedback as I seem to already have a sufficient amount of ideas but need to develop them further.

The current highest qualities of my work are the text involving colour being striking and relatable to the content of my work (blue and yellow – representation of the EU flag). The use of repetition of my planned screen prints has also been pointed out in the feedback because of the clear message of mass use of animals in animal testing.

I could possibly further clarify my current development work by developing my designs into more finalised pieces of work such as screen prints (this is hard because there’s not much time to drop in) and consider interpreting the colours of the EU flag in my designs with subtly to more closely relate it back to Brexit making them more understandable when out of context.

According to my feedback I have shown a critical understanding of the subject that I am exploring (animal testing) and could easily develop these into more finalised pieces, such as prints. It has also been suggested that I could refer back to the current world issues that I mentioned in my sketchbook and develop these ideas further and look further into how animal testing affects the environment in various ways.
