Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

You are required to write a 500 word evaluation of this module.

Through this module, I think I have learned and realised many things. This module helped me a better understanding what illustration is and how illustration works. I have come across many new things and knowledge during this module. I am very grateful to have come to these sessions and learned about it. I was quite excited to know a new artist, opened my eyes to see a different drawing by various culture and industry. I think what the most important thing I gained from this module is to be critical. If I seem any art works, I should not ignore it and just walked by think of nothing. After looking many different artists I this module, I think as an art student I should constantly be thinking and reflecting everything around me. I think I have learned to appreciate people’s work now, and also comparing similarity from it, learned the technique that this artist has. Because I do not read as much as the book, I used to be now, so I used many references are from my childhood memory. This module recalled the memory of younger me who read comic every day, ambition and hard- working. I don’t know when did I starting to lose it. I think it has been a while since I last think about what I am going do when I graduated. I know I am going to do something about art, about illustration, but I don't think about it deeply like what kind of art job. I remember my dream was making comics and illustrations eventually animate it. But now I feel like it is not as firmly as I used to be. I feel sorry for my younger me the one who tells everyone she is going to be a famous cartoonist. I think now I am gradually coming back because that was the reason I decided to do art to into illustration course. As I mentioned in my presentation, during the year I realised I have a few shortages that I need to change. Before I get into the second year, I think I will keep challenging myself in summer, and make sure I get ready for Level 5.

What I have learned most importantly is I realised I know myself a little bit more, and how many weakness I have.

During this year I feel like I always lack ideas. When I think I about it I found the reason why this happens. I am always absorbing and accepting new things, but never really think about it by myself. They are so many information from the Internet, and they are all fragmented and random. This is why I deicide to back to reading again, not just Wikipedia and Google what I want to know. Otherwise, I feel like I am going to lose the ability to think. I do not want to be a robot because that is not what an artist should be like.

The lack of confidence have always been my problem, even in the study, I offend question myself ' am I doing this right? Wait, I think I did it wrong'.

The most important thing that I need to change is time management. I am a deadline fighter, before the last day of submission I always doing things very slowly and easily distracted by other things. When I am doing a project, I will go to do other stuff that has nothing to do with my project.
