Assigment 3 : a linking theme - further thoughts
Ive printed 10 and I need 8. Its like spending 4 nights at a hotel and the dinner menu has 6 main courses. You know you will go home having not tried 2 of them. Which 2 do I leave out ? Self doubt is my biggest enemy.
I think the best course of action is to make the choice, stick with it,and console yourself that you have produced ten prints of equal value. Don't look back!
Thanks for the advice. Pity Ime not doing engineering or maths. There is a right or wrong answer to Ohm's law or a quadratic equation. Isnt art difficult.
I am probably coming in WAY too late on this but my tutor for this course (Jose) helped me to really think about how images talk to each other and to think about how they sit together as a set rather than just appraising them as individual works of art. Hope you found an answer you were happy with. Art is indeed incredibly difficult!
Hi Helen. Thanks for your comments. This is the first assignment that I am preparing as a set that could be viewed as a panel. Previously I had made Blurb books. I agree about how they look as as set and I will do a small print of thumbnails to show my tutor how thay should be viewed.
Oh I know it's hard isn't it!!! Sleep on it....and select the ones least crumpled!!
