I HATE GROUP CRITS
I HATE GROUP CRITS
but my last one was really productive and went well, so what is there to worry about?
My main concern this week is people stealing my ideas.
It seems to stupid but I worry about people hearing what I'm doing and then doing the same thing, only better. In my Foundation I would often just run away or not speak and often not get much out of the critiques at all.
WHAT I WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS CRIT:
Feedback on my storyboard - does it make sense?
Do they like the theme? Is it interesting?
What is the atmosphere?

What is the atmosphere?
If I'm feeling brave enough to show and talk about my felting… is it illustration? Do they think it is appropriate?
Post-Crit
WHAT I GOT OUT OF THIS CRIT:
Have some confidence! So what if someone else does the same thing? It will never be an identical match to yours and you will always have your own take on something. Just make and stop thinking so much.
Storyboards are looking good, I have lots of research and it is obvious that I am enjoying my project.
Steven had a really ambitious concept, so it made me wonder whether I am doing enough! Should I have more pages? BUT YOU NEED TO BE REALISTIC. TIME FRAME AND MANAGEABLE EXPECTATIONS.
Ailsa (visiting tutor today - remember to check her work out later) was lovely and although I was nervous about talking to someone I hadn't met before, she was really helpful and gave honest opinions. Good to have an 'outside' perspective from someone who hasn't heard me whittling on about the tower for the past month already.
Felt confident enough to talk about my felting; positive feedback 'it's charming', 'it's such a different way to approach the brief', 'it's still storytelling, whatever media you use. It is illustration if you put it in that context'.

STOP PLANNING, JUST MAKE!
WHAT ABOUT A BACKGROUND?
I hadn't thought about the background, do I use material or paper or board or just paint?
Ailsa suggested printing textures and making a wall of interesting marks but would this take away from the scene? It is already a very busy view!

PRODUCTIVE GROUP CRIT
GAVE ME LOTS OF ANSWERS
...AND SOME MORE QUESTIONS
Propaa proud of myself for feeling confident enough to show everyone my work and to accept the feedback I was given.
STAY JAY. Keep doin' what you doin' and stop worrying about other people.
YOU ARE HERE TO LEARN.
