Well a new entry as promised. Wanted to talk about yesterdays crit. I am feeling a huge sense of indecision and confusion throughout the group. We seem to receive all the critique on what is missing, what is wrong and the why is that not there and the why is that there.......what about the, that bits working, I like that......well done?????
Even though I am behind myself , certainly in the rendered art work, I felt the work people pinned up in some cases was completely different from the previous crit. I think this is because everyones confidence is knocked a little and in doing so we leave one crit feeling that we are going in the wrong direction, so we are forced to try out something new. Then we go to the next crit and are asked why we have changed what we are doing. Unfortunately we don't have enough time to keep changing things and I am worried for myself and everyone else just how we are going to achieve our final work in time.
There is either far too much put into this third year or we simply are not taught enough in second year. No-one should be worried about rendering technique in the third year, we should be merely perfecting the skill. Afterall that is what the third year is all about in most degree courses. We are expected to know so much and to be quite honest if another person tells us there was a book in a reading list that we could have read to solve our problems, then why didn't I just do a blummin Home Learning Degree!
Anyway it's a bit late for this rant, both tonight and for the year, lets hope we all get through this thing with a little bit of confidence and dignity still remaining.
