I decided to create a blog for two reasons, I wanted to show my work to wider audience and I was hoping to be discovered. One of these two things happened, my blog was viewed by nearly three hundred people at the time of writing this post which I feel is fairly good, no doubt if I was a sneezing infant panda I’d have had more views but we can but dream. The blog was also viewed in many countries around the world including Kuwait and Iceland two places which are not culturally dissimilar. It was interesting to put my work out in the world for public viewing and it certainly made me think about the way I write, by changing my writing style to fit a wider audience I think it has been more pleasant and comprehendible for everyone concerned. I was inspired to start my own blog because I often extract information from other blogs. I think in future project I would probably use a blog again or expand on the one I have started for this project to publicise my work, although it took some time I did decide I could fill the internet with more drivel and not feel bad. Part of the reason I did a blog is because was to be receive feedback from a wider audience this didn't in fact happen, I did however get lots of people to look at it and many people were interested and complimentary of my work and writing style. On the whole doing a blog was a good idea. Although I missed doing a pretty traditional sketchbook, simply sending this blog as a PDF to my lecturer and having it printed off means I have more time to work of pieces of art which will benefit my grade.
A Note to Those Who Judge Me....
I wrote this evaluation several weeks ago and at the time of its first draft I had planned to make a traditional sketchbook in addition to my blog print out. I was told not to do this and have thus modified my plans and this evaluation accordingly, instead you are now evaluating my project as a whole through reading a printout of this blog or by using an internet connected device. If you’d rather be reading this in a sketchbook than on one of the above formats then I apologize however I was only following orders. Cast your eye over my other work and you’ll notice three boards of photo montage, these boards are the collation of the images within this blog and show the work which inspired my project and the work I created towards it. They serve as an interesting and far more tangible demonstration of my work effort and desire to please and succeed.
A Note to Those Who are Sick of Evaluations
I grasp the constant evaluation of my work could be deemed overkill, however self evaluation is a key skill to possess and a person and a key source of mark within an art project. Stay tuned in my next post i'll be evaluating the font I used in this blog...
