Summative Statement

This module was useful in forcing me to create work that was driven by a range of different sources . I am often inspired by other artist's work but it was interesting to really research into the theory that it sprung from to understand better how they think and the decisions that they've made. Selecting theory based on space also worked well for me because I enjoyed exploring and working from observation. I feel like I learned a lot about my theme and my outcomes have a rich context behind them. However, I do wish that I had started drawing and visiting the places a lot earlier in the project. When I eventually did it, I found using my own experiences of space to understand and apply some of the theories really useful. This focus on order vs. chaos and other sharp comparisons/ conflicts is definitely something I come back to a lot. I think its because I like my work to be appealing but also to have a more dark, serious edge to it I definitely something I want to explore further - next year (find other contrasts)? The thing that I have struggled with most in this and every module is the blog because I am still unsure how to use it. Last year it was useful for personal reflection but this year I don't think I've been using it enough because I haven't had to.
