Final Evaluation

Final Evaluation Ellie Fisher

Through the aspects of managing my time throughout the project, I believe that I have developed progression through the past projects to adapt the skills I have learnt to achieve a planned well organised final major project. For my sketchbook time management was planned efficiently through the aspects of completing 4 sketchbooks including 1 A3 book. Within the sketchbooks I managed my time through completing a set amount of pages within my independent study and the weekend availability. The sketchbooks were generated outside the lesson which I believed to work effectively because I could plan my time efficiently to the textiles workshop that was on available at certain aspects due to health and safety rules. Through the planning of time to my sketchbook through my independent study it has allowed me to plan efficiently in order to complete the highest standard including aspects of Textiles and fine art combined within the surface. To support my time efficiently, I used my project proposal sheet to guide and follow the set weeks initially planned. Also, through my time management sheets it has allowed me to plan my time within my independent study to create the pages in which I wanted to achieve. It has given set times, targets for what I am aiming to produce and the reflection in which I have achieved from each day. Throughout the project weeks I gave time every day to my sketchbook work and balanced the time efficiently with studio aspects and Textiles availability. Also, I have use my diary to plan my time efficiently to suit the requirements of the project, completing elements and balancing my time effectively to work alongside studio availability and elements outside of the college environment including work. The time management has allowed me to develop and plan my time efficiently which was a problem faced before the project. I have set targets and decided to give me the availability to move on from pages with the tasks I was aiming to produce each day. Through the determination of completing sketchbook pages and my A3 initial piece it has given me the confidence to progress and expand my knowledge further to another A4 sketchbook. From the organised time and progression I have produced further sketchbooks including 2 A4 surfaces exploring the aspects of my Textiles sampling, organisation and planning and production towards my final outcome. Through organising my time I have decided to annotate my pages in large stages as it allowed me to progress and maintain a rhythm of key words and aspects of studies connecting together. Through the large scale amounts of annotation it has allowed me to progress and plan my time to capture the final pages which was an element in which I have gained through the previous project. To improve the aspect of managing my time for the sketchbook I would change my time planning for the annotation of my technical file. As the technical file was produced and annotated at the last week of the project I felt that I was unable to achieve accurate outcomes and analysis of the design. But the problem was resolved and each technical file was generated well to an excellent standard. Also to improve my time with my sketchbook I would change the time in which I produced my final timeline sketchbook as I found it difficult to work back into the surface. To resolve the problem I would of annotated the sketchbook to the time in which I completed the progression which would of achieved a further detailed design.  For my Final Major Project, focus I decided to select my theme through looking back into my family history and the environment around me. At first I struggled to think of a theme as we have been previously given tasks and I have developed them to suit my own style and expansion. Also, I found this aspect challenging because I am known to be working better to live briefs and restraints to adapt my style and passion for Textiles. To select my theme I decided to connect the element towards my visit to New York City with college as I could obtain a various amount of research from visits to tourist attractions, iconic areas and landscapes. This sparked inspiration as the city is known for the large scale of industry aspects and is known for the symbolism of the American Dream. The symbol of industry was inspired by the iconic landmarks of New York City including the Empire State Building and Rockefeller Centre. The 1920s aspect of the city was inspirational when generating ideas as it followed the economic boom and how America had a massive impact with the industrial development. To combine this aspect of my visit to New York and the theme of industry, It gave me the inspiration to look towards the local industry well around the city of Barnsley. Through the town of Barnsley it is known as an industrial environment as it was built around coal-mining and working class society. This was inspired from my family as I have been surrounded by the historical aspects of past generations working within the coal-industry, including my Uncle and Grandad. This was inspirational as it was a strong passionate subject within the family and community which would allow me to gain a large amount of research and opinions. From this knowledge of local industry it has allowed me to obtain my routes as I have family history miner’s works who have been involved in the 1984 strike movement. I am proud of my family history and the working class background which was a main reason to select my theme. Through the subject matter of industry it has allowed me to expand two aspects of global and local industry with comparison and contrasting elements. Through selecting my theme I struggled to capture aspects of artist research which was a problem I faced within the stage. To solve the problem I worked back into the sense of local industry and the elements of justice and campaigning. As I have previously shown interest for the topic through my passion of campaign artwork and protecting the environment I wanted to expand this aspect further to suit the subject matter. As my family history were involved through the 1984 strike movement it gave me inspiration to reinforce this subject matter and combine topics together to create a final theme. As the miners’ strike had an enormous impact around the community town I wanted to achieve the sense of support, pride and reassurance felt around families. To incorporate the sense of Justice around global industry I decided to reinforce this through current topic issues within the news which includes the new leadership and presidency of the USA. Through the selected theme I wanted to express the sense of the “American Dream” and the freedom that the city is famous for displaying. Both aspects of these themes were maintained through the project towards my research stage of the project. For my research stage I visited the city of New York to obtain primary sources. The research included photographs taken from different aspects of the city to show diversity and the sense of wealth and division within the landscape of the city. I collected imagery from the New York Skyline and Central Park to capture the subject matter of justice well. Furthermore this subject matter was captured through artwork displayed across the city and graffiti showing expression and justice in a creative way. The visit was also very useful as I was involved in a protest which gave me the knowledge and experience to visit the environment. Through my visit and exploration of the city I captured the rich and wealthy areas including Empire State Building, Rockefeller Centre, Grand Central Station and Times Square. To capture the subject matter of freedom, I captured imagery taken from the Freedom Tower, Statue of Liberty and Times Square. I captured the different aspects of the environment through photography and documenting my visit at each day through a personal journal. Through the primary studies I have captured, observational drawings when exploring the city which expanded my sources further. Through the trip, I visited the MoMA gallery which has been inspirational as it has allowed me to gain artist studies and inspiration from the works of Andy Warhol and exploration decades of art which faced political movements including the 1960s. It has allowed me to gain inspiration from an artist’s perspective and to see forms of justice presented in a different aspect. For my primary research to Local Industry I visited the National Coal Mining Museum to gain photographs of studies of industrial machinery and the working environment. I visited the Hero’s exhibition to gain inspiration around the miners’ strike and how contributed to the efforts and support. Through the coal-mining museum I have captured the campaign artwork and method in which was used for supporting the movement and fighting against the government and the changed within society. To gain further inspiration, I have captured the sense of Protest artwork gained from the exhibition “Protest Lab” displayed in Sheffield. This research was inspirational as it gave me the inspiration and drive to achieve protest artwork following the topic of the miners’ strike. Within my visit to the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield, I have explored the subject matter of local industry through the steel industry and a permanent exhibition called “Steel Works” this was less useful because I found the subject matter less inspiring as too many objects were on display causing the display of it being overwhelming. Through my visit to Sheffield, I have also captured primary sources of Grayson Perry’s tapestry study of “Comfort Blanket” which allowed me to create and analyse the study of the artwork in person. For my primary research I have also captured photographs taken from the Barnsley Museum specifically researching and developing towards elements contributing the iconic industrial town. It allowed me to gain further information around the coal-mining industry but also learn about other industrial aspects that contribute to the town well. Finally for my primary research I achieved further artist development and understanding through the works of Andy Warhol “artist room” in Manchester. The gallery visit allowed me to gain an insight towards how Andy Warhol presented the American Society within a negative way compared to the contrasting positive aspects commonly known. For my artist studies I captured campaign artists within different decades exploring subject matters within the time. For example Keith Haring was captured as he was an iconic New York artist in which displayed his works across the city. He captured subject matters faced and campaigned to fight against HIV. As previously mentioned Andy Warhol has been captured to explore two contrasting subject matters of New York showing positivity and negative aspects of the American Society. To capture campaign artwork I explored the political and post war artist Peter Kennard who captured Anti-war imagery and maintaining a positive within the dark imagery and symbols of death.  To capture the studies of my pathway of Textiles, I decided to follow the artists of Grayson Perry and Tracy Emin. Tracy Emins work has been influential as the artist explores current and universal subject matters through the form of angry expression. She captures the sense of expression and the feminist aspects to change the outcome to a different meaning and also contrast the stereotypical role presented. Tracy Emin supports my studies through tapestry works as it connects to the similar designs and expression shown from the miners’ strike. The workers union banners were a main expression and form within the campaign work and the works of the contemporary artist were similar with the same subject matter and layout.  Compared to other artists generated, it captured to the aspect of my theme better and linked to the industry and unions directly to suggest messages and inform others. The works of Grayson Perry were also inspirational and supportive as the reinforced idea of tapestry works were captured and explored through universal subject matters. Through my project proposal Grayson Perry was the leading inspirational artist towards capturing my theme because I previously watched a series of documentaries capturing tapestry works and the working class society. Through the artist he has followed the same subject of matter of the mining community and progressed to create a workers union banner. Through the banner it has been influential and has captured my determination to follow the similar research matter. It gave the sense of reassurance and community spirit when collected throughout the documentary. For the works of Tracy Emin, I decided to capture critical study of her works through the exploration of textiles and embroidery. The surface captured layers of patchwork and embroidery pieces well to show my understanding and the style in which the artist created. To present the study of texture, the pieces were developed with recycled and embroidered into the surface well. To show the repetition of colour and form repeated fabrics and surfaces were displayed to capture the sense of irregular rhythm and movement within the piece. To present further repetition and texture embroidered pieces were placed onto the surface including traditional crafts of buttons and finishes of pearls. To reinforce the striking lines of capital letters they were expressed through the flowered fabrics and similar surfaces demonstrated within the study. For the use of colour scheme the continuous scheme of feminist colours were captured to reinforce the subject matter and understanding of the piece. A simple, repeated running sketch was used to capture the patchwork pattern. The forms and square patchwork shapes were maintained throughout the study to create the sense of traditional crafts. The scale and form of the design has been reinforced throughout the study to show the striking lettering and fonts that suggests the message of anger and emotion through expression. The composition of the outline continued to be unorganised to capture the striking piece and display well. For the studies of Grayson Perry the pieces have been separated into the two different choices of media capturing his ceramic and textiles pieces. For the studies of the ceramic works I have captured the depth of textured lines through the process of Batik which connects to the Textiles aspects of my pathway and the further understanding of the artist’s work. As the cermanic works were textured and embossed within the surface this aspect was generated through my studies to emphasise my understanding and progression. The rhythm and cotniuous movement of colour within the pieces have been generated well through the choice of inks and watercolours throughout the piece. To show my understanding of the repeated, striking choice of text and graffito designs the choice of stamps were maintained to capture Grayson Perry’s monologue work and dark subject matters. The textured, detailed pattern surfaces have been developed well through the choice of fabric and embroidery within the design surface to show the conflicting messages and meanings behind his work. The strong silhouette designs have been maintained through the studies to capture the intricate details within and the subject matter of fonts and surface patterns. A strong maintained display of harmony has been presented well within the surface as the continuous lines and rhythm have displayed the moving images and emotional subject matters through Grayson Perrys work and perspectives. The overall piece demonstrates the sense of harmony well and captures the similar subject matters that are not commonly used or said within the art perspective. The piece displays the diverse striking colours but also maintains the similar intricate details used to capture the piece. To raise the surface to show my understanding of the ceramic pieces textured fabric has bordered the designs to show a textured surface but also maintaining the regular colour scheme generated. For my second critical sheet I wanted to capture the striking characteristics and forms in which highlight the working class society subjects and the sense of division between the nations. To capture the harmonious colours of the royal landscape displayed within the tapestry piece, textured layers were created in order to fit the design well and demonstrate the similar material generated to reinforce my understanding of the piece well. This captured the sense of rhythm and harmony from the landscape and gave me the opportunity to create intricate foreground surfaces. For the surface design, embroidered pieces were stitched into the design capturing the strong fonts and information well. The piece reinforced the understanding of the materials generated form observational studies and captured the skills in which I have specialised. Through the study the strong repetition of lines were used to capture the surface design well and the striking colour scheme taken from the miners’ strike directly. This was exposed and reinforced into the background of the design generating a sense of a secure repetition and pattern surface. The form of the characteristics were important within the design surface and this was captured through a large scale proportion and scale of the studies. As the monotone, industrial colours were on display through the studies this was captured through the ink and pencils to symbolise the death of industry and support in which the community faced. The critical study sheet was concluded with a large scale drawing of a political figure avoiding taxes which was striking within the surface and the depth of line captured the fear and emotion of being caught my the angry dogs. The choice of striking red was created to symbolise the emotions felt within the working class society. To conclude the design, the detailed forms of embroidery were placed onto the surface well to show movement and suggestion of harmony working well with other aspects of the design being captured effectively. For the critical study of Peter Kennard, the surface design was captured through a depth understanding of colour and movement displayed throughout his work. The sense of rhythm and movement captured the monotone colours well as it demonstrated the continuous theme running through his world. The striking form and shapes of the font were captured well within the surface as it generated the messages that the artist wanted to achieve about anti-war outlooks. The strong monotone colours blended well into the background and captured the messages well. To highlight the sense of 3d forms and texture that the artist has developed, it was placed onto the surface well with bringing the critical sheet forward within the layout of the rhythmed and continuous patterned designs. The choice of Gouache and Acrylic paints brought a sense of detail within the design capturing the aspect of life with the environmental colours of the earth including yellow and green. For my Keith Haring studies I have produced a series of lino-cuts capturing the simplistic lines and silhouettes of characters. For the design aspect it emphasises the continuous lines being generated to capture subject matters but also emphasising certain elements of the design. Through the lino cuts it has captured the depth of line and texture generated from the studies and skills I have learnt. For the colour scheme they were maintained simple which was learnt from the studies to present the detail depth of line well. For the lino cuts black and red were used to highlight the emotions felt during the design surface and the period of time in which they were created. It has captured the sense and style of graffiti which was placed within the city of New York. For my secondary research of designs I re-watched the Grayson Perry documentary to gain and learn about the inspiration in which he achieved to create his works. It was inspirational as it allowed me to gain influence to an artist who followed the same subject matter and displayed the same opinion as me. Also through my secondary research a Pinterest board was produced which gained my sources of photographs taken from the miners’ strike which was developed and adapted into research sheets. Through my bibliography I have obtained secondary research sources from artist books and gallery studies which connect to my critical studies well. It has allowed me to achieve accurate sources through library books well and to progress with my research and initial inspiration ideas for the project theme. This included looking into the movement of Punk which was a rebellious movement showing justice within a musical perspective and artist way from album covers. I enjoyed researching this information as it connected to my passion for music and genres within my hobbies. My research was developed throughout my sketchbooks to show understanding of the information and studies achieved. The studies were developed to fine art studies and included my own development and interpretation of the theme well. Also it captured Textiles perspectives well within my development including adapting my designs to suit my specialising including embroidery and experimenting with fabrics. Through all research perspective they were adapted and suited to fit my style and perspectives which made all of my sketchbooks unique and individual. Also to include the large scale amount of designs they were collaged well into my sketchbook and designed into the surface to create background pages and scenery. This was especially a recurring theme within my New York pages. The developed research were also expanded and placed onto my blogs for analysing which specifically included the gallery visits and exhibitions. From my research it was also developed into my research sheets to provide the understanding of two aspects of my theme in which I wanted to achieve and progress further within the project. The division of both themes allowed me to adapt and develop my research to suit the requirements and two areas that I wanted to explore with depth analysis with the support of justice and campaign works. To progress further into my design development and the visual sheet stage I continued to complete surface pattern designs exploring the separate themes. This would allow me to identify and finalise the piece and subject matter I was wanting to produce within the Textiles studio. Through the visual sheet I wanted to incorporate my detailed research and an areas in which inspired me through artists influence and inspiration. For the New York research I was taken inspiration from the modern industrial aspects including buildings and iconic attractions that summarise the New York skyline. For the landscape perspective I was influenced from my studies taken from the Liberty Island and seeing the city through a horizontal perspective. Within the design stage I took forward the subject matter of the “American” dream which was inspirational and brought the connection of campaign and the sense of freedom well. As the city was proud of being an American state with the aspects of industry this influenced me to produce the visual sheet with an outline of the American flag with elements of the reassured display of support towards the nation. The design of the American flag was influenced by the recurring image being displayed across the city through my primary research. Another area in which I found inspiring was the traditional aspect of the city and how it was formed during the 1920s taken from imagery of the empire state building and Rockefeller centre. The piece within the visual sheet was influenced by the progression of creating the landscape and the industrial and equipment tools being suspended and connecting steelworks together. Another inspiration in which was influenced towards the project was the description of freedom across the city which has been analysed into typography giving the suggestion of describing the American dream and New York society. The elements of the advertisements and the New York night life has been progressed further and has been inspiring to create the design outcome. The subject matter of freedom has been developed through my visual sheet as the Statue of Liberty concluded and summarised what the city has been named and known for across the world. As the development and progression towards global industry it was difficult to specialise the outcome to one aspect as different elements within the studies contribute to the subject matter and depth meaning of the city. Through the development and influences from an artist’s perspective the works of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring captured the illustrative outcome of my designs. Through the advertisements and New York City description I turned to Andy Warhol as the artist captured screen-prints showing both positive and negative aspects of the city. It reinforced my opinion of the city and contributed to my inspiration well. Through the American flag the symbol of nationality and unity was also inspired by the works of Grayson Perry and Tracy Emin. To capture the local industry through my design process the visual sheet was more specialised compared to the aspects of global industry with a running theme that connected together well together. For the design the pieces were inspired through the development of campaign artwork and the sense of community spirit displayed throughout. The controversial subject matter of Orgeave and the division between the miners and police was an inspirational aspect as it connected to my theme of industry and justice well. Through this subject matter two surface pattern designs were captured which was a strong maintained display of information well. The subject matter of the miners’ strike was developed further within the design sheet through campaign aspects with slogans and captions taken directly from my research. This was inspirational as they were striking and captured my aspects of Justice well within my research. These were combined through the visual sheet designs well capturing a balance of both themes well. The research in which informed my design process was the tapestry and union works as they captured intricate details symbolising the community spirit and reassurance in which they gave to the working environment. It symbolised the support in which the miners and families gained to fight on within the community and lives which inspired me to include this aspect with the combined artist studies of Tracy Emin and Grayson Perry. For the taopresry studies this influenced a design within my sheet which was a community illustration highlighting how the industry impacted every aspects of society through the community towards the cities. The intricate contrasting surface pattern was included within the design. From my research I was inspired by the National Union Of Mineworkers And the political figure Arthur Scargill to be included within the design and development stage. Also, I was inspired by the industrial machinery and landscapes of the coal-mining environment in which has been achieved from my primary research towards the national coal-mining museum. It has allowed me to include this striking forms with also the equipment used through the miners. This reinforced the idea of my family history as pit lamps have been a symbol of importance within the family and were used by my Grandad. From the designs sheets and the combination of influences generated, I decided to focus with capturing the local industry aspect as it displayed a perfect balance of my themes well. I felt that the connection of the designs worked well and displayed a rhythm and movement within the design connecting similar aspects of the theme that linked together well. The global industry wasn’t expanded further because I felt that the design didn’t show a clear design of justice well and each individual designs were seen as opposites which didn’t show a recurring theme and movement compared to the other aspect of the designs. The constraints in which effected my design was the availability of sources due to finance and money from a student’s perspective. As I was limited to my blue card allowance I had to plan my amounts well with solving the issue through creating miniature A4 samples within the screen-print stage. Time-management and availability within the workshop was another constraint faced as due to health and safety I was limited to the time available within the Textiles and Fashion studio. This was solved through planning my time outside lessons through my independent study to create the samples in which I wanted to achieve. Another constraint faced was also time as I was away for 1 week during the start of the project to travel to New York with college. However as it was a research source it worked in my favour to gain the research I aimed to achieve and to catch up with the work missed within the independent study. I was constricted through time at work as I was balancing my work with my job throughout the stage but was also solved as I completed blogs within the time slots and availability when completing work. Constraints were displayed within the studio as problems were faced with my screen and samples. I was limited to the amounts provided within the studio I was restricted to the amount of puff binder, colour mixing and devore samples in which I could achieve. Also through problems faced within my blocked screens this restricted me to sampling and time in which i could have been progressing and developing designs further. Through the scale and sizes of fabric samples I was constricted to be producing large scale experimentation samples as it would be cost effective. However through the range of smaller samples it has allowed me to expand the diversity of colour schemes and production to analyse a diverse range of methods and techniques. The chosen colour schemes in some way were a form of a constraint as I had to follow a set range of schemes to connect the work to my chosen theme of the miners strike and allow the outcome to be engaging towards the audience. Also, through the exposed layers of screens I was restricted to the set amount and for the pieces to work effectively they had to be used together within the surface. The sewing machine was a constraint within the Textiles studio because I was limited to the amount of patterns and surfaces in which I could use well to capture the applique style. For my experimentation and processes, I have produced a seletion of methods and techniques within the Textiles studio including the main project aspect of screen-printing that captured 4 layers combined together which was the biggest amount of layers I have produced so far. Also weaving and knitting were used to capture the traditional industrial elements to connect to my theme but also to give me a better understanding of specific and joined colour schemes. Batik samples were produced within the studio which allowed me to symbolise my specific project aspect and theme of slogans from the miners’ strike and combine this element with chosen colour schemes. Also through batik I could combine further textiles processes onto the surface which included specific screen samples capturing graffiti style. Cotton fabric was dyed to suit my colour scheme and developed further through printing. Devore sampling was mixed and captured well to show the process of the fabric burning onto the specific samples to capture the designs. Also puff binder was used to bring raised surfaces and a sense of industrial texture to the surface. Felt making was created to capture colour scheme well. Paper samples were generated through my independent study capturing the experimentation of varied surfaces. Heat transfer was used to capture information for my business cards and cvs to transfer information well onto the surface. Sewing machine was used to capture the method and technique of applique well to work back towards my designs and progress the skill further towards my final project. Outside of the Textiles studio, lino-cuts were generated to capture Keith Harings work. Problem Solving has been encountered throughout the project which has allowed me to resolve the issues. Firstly when generating my project proposal as I unsure how to capture artist studies towards the aspect of local industry. This problem allowed me to progress and capture my theme of justice and campaign within the design. This led me to achieve inspiration from the artists Grayson Perry and Tracy Emin. My Pinterest board also contributed to this well and captured further knowledge of artists including the discovery of Peter Kennard. The problem faced during the research process was the time in which I visited galleries and I visited two gallery exhibitions that were closed in Sheffield on Monday. To solve the issue my time was planned and checked in order to visit the gallery. Through the development process of my visual sheets I struggled to capture inspiration for the layouts of my designs. The problem was solved when looking back through my research to achieve the outlines that worked well. The textiles studio faced various problems within my development stage. The exposure machine was an encounter because I was struggling to capture accurate measurements for my layers to work well together. Through magic tape and tracings this guided the problem and my designs were exposed further through darker layers being produced with the permanent pen and lightbox. Then the screens would expose well causing blocked and damaged screens which was repeated through the same process to achieve the effective outcome. Also as the screens were being used exposed areas appeared which were covered with newsprint when completing the print stage. Through the textiles studio the colour black ran out which has maintained a faded appearance within the final outcome. Through my fourth layer of the screen the puff binder surface didn’t work well as it covered the writing and damaged the overall appearance. During the process this design was removed. When working into the sewing machine the design caused creases which were a problem as it effect the overall developed layered outcome. When placing the applique design onto the surface this caused a problem because the fabric would move causing the stitching to be placed onto the wrong areas. When completing the layout of the final design a problem was faced with measurements but was resolved when tracings were used to guide the design. My problem solving towards my final piece was reflected through my progression timeline capturing all the minor issues raised and solved. The problem solving was also captured through my blogs and my sketchbook with the analysis of diverse range of sources. Problem solving was maintained through my time-management diaries and reflection. If I had no time constraints within the project I wouldn’t change my final outcome but I would expand on this to create a print following my global industry research as I felt the visual designs had a large amount of potential. Also I would develop the aspect of my final piece further through further textured pieces of embroidery and the use of the sewing machine. If there was no time constraints I would have expanded my piece and generated further series of samples through the exploration of materials compared to be maintained element of calico. For the final piece design it was previously problem solved as I was finding the screen print samples onto calico too simple and doesn’t express intricate surfaces. To solve the problem I worked back into my sketchbook and gained inspiration from the works of Grayson Perry and Tracy Emin. As both artist use tapestry pieces they were easily compared through similarities and were the main inspiration for the piece. Both artists displayed Textiles imagery and the patchwork displays of national flag. This was inspirational as it allowed me to adapt the aspect to suit my work and the reassured pattern of national identity and community spirit previously created within my screen. The applique design was applied to the surface with the colours of red and satin to maintain my colour scheme. This was placed onto the surface well and divided the piece to create a banner flag. The outcome was also produced within a previous sample to solve the issues raised before being completed on the aspect. The final design captured both of these aspects well and demonstrated a sense of balance within the final surface. To conclude the design two wooden poles were connected onto the sides to capture the banner appearance. What went well with the design what that it was a clean and neat outcome with all the exposed areas covered and planned within the process. As tracings were used for guidance it provided an accurate display of layers onto the calico surface that was taped down effectively. However if I was to improve the design I would cover the faded areas of a particular screen as it was less effective and didn’t stand out well compared to over screens generated. Due to the loss of black dye I was unable to fix the design which would be the area in which I would improve. The applique design surface worked well it maintained an accurate length and guidance with the 8cm width. To improve the design I would change the satin fabric as It was challenging to achieve within the design causing to move when fed through the sewing machine. For the banner pole it worked well as it looked like a traditional piece that was displayed in marches perfectly. To improve the design I would change the width of the poles so that the piece would stand more accurately and free-handed. From the aspect of the project I believe that I have managed my time effectively gained the skills learnt from previous project which was an issue raised in evaluations. I felt that the time-management sheets provided guidance and support to keep on track with each stage of the task with the support also given from my project proposal. It was important for me to stay on track and it gave me the guidance and reassurance that I would be able to project large mass amounts within the given time scale. The organisation of my time allowed me to plan excess to the workshop availability to suit my time and work around the idenpendtn areas. I allowed myself to be organised and come to college within the extra hours on Mondays and Fridays outside of my timetable which I believed contributed the most. The majority of the time I have given tasks at each stage of the project which allowed me to achieve them through my diary and time management sheets. The time and management skill I believe has been achieved and this will be reflected through the next stage of my career. Throughout the project my blogs have been used thoroughly to capture daily records and to allow myself to set tasks and reflection within the concluding paragraph. I believe through this project my blogs have become more detailed to capture the aspect of problem solving and planning well. It has allowed me to reflect the skills I have learnt and what I am going to produce next to achieve and aspire. Through the blogs in the project I have included further details that included gallery visits a play reviews. This made the outcome more creative and I have experimented with videos within my design. With this sense of reflection, I believe that I have managed my time well and handle the pressure of the FMP deadline well compared to past projects. I feel like I have managed my time well because I have enjoyed the chosen topic and my individual exploration of the theme. The organisation have been developed rapidly through this project and I am extremely pleased with the outcome and journey I have progressed. I wouldn’t change the project if I had to do it again because I have enjoyed capturing both aspects of industry well with my passion for campaign artwork. i am extremely satisfied with the project develop as I have learnt new skills and adapted them to suit the roles of the local industry artwork. The strengths of the project have been captured through my passion for surface design and it has reflected in which I have gained in the past year of college specialising in Textiles. It has identified me as a person who is striving within the Textiles environment and I am looking forward to gaining new skills in the next step of university life. The aim of the project was to discover the importance of the local industry in which my family played a significant role within which reinforces my conclusion that I have shown respect for the coal-mining, industrial town of Barnsley.
