Assignment 2 - Tutor Feedback

I have received the feedback for Assignment 2 from my Tutor.  I am very pleased with the feedback and the comments made.

One point that was made was that I could have elaborated a little more on the piece I wrote about my mother's wedding dress.  Suggestions were that I could have described how I felt about the dress and could have said more about particular aspects of the dress such as the handmade buttons.  Looking back at the piece I wrote about the dress I can see how relevant my Tutor's comments are and I do need to say more about how I feel about a subject rather than just a description of it.

My Tutor said my description of my visit to Kelvingrove Museum is a better example of writing critically.  I have looked back at this and can see the difference between my writing on this and on the piece about my mother's wedding dress.  I will try to take forward how I wrote about the museum visit into my writing and notes in future Assignments.  I feel the piece about the visit was written with more enthusiasm and I feel my interest and enjoyment of the exhibits and the museum comes across and makes this a more successful piece of critical writing.

My Tutor suggested the names and links to textile artists that may interest and inspire me.  I am looking into these.

In relation to the next Assignment my Tutor gave me some pointers. Particularly interesting was the idea of looking at origami in relation to fabric manipulation.  Also she suggested I look at the art of Shibori which I have started to do and feel very interested and excited about this technique.

The point was also made to look regularly back at previous work as sometimes when moving forward to learn new techniques we can forget to consider and incorporate those we have already learned.  I think this is a very good point for me as I have been doing lots of samples and I should be taking some of those further rather than jumping to the next technique.
