BRADFORD

To push my professional level more I have to present my work in front of peers. This will give me new information on how I come across professionally. I created my two boards for the presentation, this time I considered how I wanted them to look. I had to be careful in what I chose to put on the board because of my samples. My samples are never flat or small so sometime I find it a lot harder to communicate my ideas across because some photographs don’t do the colour or materials any justice.  I have found a system which shows my ideas off well is manipulating them in photoshop to create my visualisations. These techniques work perfect for me because I am now able to present my ideas to the scale and show how I wanted them to be viewed. I can evaluate more on how my art work is going to look because of these visualisations. I can reflect on what works the best in my creations.

 These presentation with peers helps because I am getting other opinions and voices to view my work. This helps build up my presentation skills to prepare me for future times. The industry I want to go in is where am pitching my artwork and ideas for spaces and places. I need to push myself in these presentations because the more practice I have will help me in further times. What I struggle with the most is communication of ideas. It is hard for me to explain what I am creating and the reasons why. By having these peer presentation they can tell you where you are going wrong and what your strong points are! During one of the presentations I was told that my ideas were clear and that photographs of my visualisations were the best way to express my ideas. With my work being on such a large scale I knew communication would have to be the key. My peers said I was confident and that I didn’t have a problem with talking to many people. I think that is key in this practice is you need to know what you are talking about. This gives me my reasons for manipulating everyday materials and constructing and deconstructing them.
