[Authors Own, September 13]
Reflecting back on this task, I throughly enjoyed searching and selecting ten items that reflect me as a person and the treasured memories of my past and present. When drawing the ten items I was slightly uneasy, as I don't believe that drawing is my strongest point. However on the other hand I felt that this task not only got me back in the habit of sketching after a long break, but it has also improved my skills as I want to advance my skills moving into uni. Fellow students have seen these sketches and have given me positive feedback, alongside some constructive criticism which has not only allowed me to see where I could improve but highlighted the many different methods I could of used to capture the memory in a much more interesting and meaningful way for example collage or even photography which I could now use in future work. I think the 'outline effect' used in Memory 1 were successful as I wanted to keep it simple yet effective. I also think I begin to become more comfortable with shading to give the picture life / a 3D effect. Furthermore I did find starting/ scaling my drawings quite difficult at first - as the proportions were too large or small at points - this problem cost me quite a lot of time; to avoid this problem in the future I need to just keep practising on a day to day bases so the skill of drawing almost becomes second nature.
