BODY OF WORK ASSIGNMENT TWO DRAFT: REFLECTIONS AGAINST LEARNING OUTCOMES

Nicola South Student number: 514516

LEARNING OUTCOMES

LO1 produce convincing visual products that communicate your intentions, using accomplished techniques in complex and unfamiliar environments, with minimal supervision from your tutor.

I began the process with reconsidering the knub of my idea, this enabled me to focus on harmony in the community
I realise that this work is fairly straightforward on the surface however I had to break down the context, woodlands, into smaller “parts” to understand their relationships, so that I can later work with the “whole” and communicate more fully about the community.
The signposting using a border with a dictionary definition is to aid the communication of this notion and to tenuously draw a parallel to human communities.

LO2 demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of your area of specialisation and be able to situate your own work within a larger context of practice in your field.

To aid my work I researched the species, photographers who photograph these subjects. and photographers who use text to signpost their concepts.

LO3 transform abstract concepts and ideas into rich narratives and integrate them in your images.

I used dictionary definitions pertaining to community adjacent to my images to narrate and integrate my images with my concept.

LO4 critically review your own work and evaluate it against desired outcomes.

These images were a process that I needed to go through to be able to understand the relationships that exist in the ancient woodland. They are a step along the way to my intention to communicate the harmony in the community. As such the work develops my genre development, but importantly leads me to my next stage.
Peer reviews made me reflect on my outcomes along the way, but I have stuck to my intention of not using humans in my work, preferring to know they have stimulated my concept, but that I will find a way to show this without their inclusion visually.
Editing was a good reflection point, and where I realised the importance of what I’d shot, the parts, and relationships, so that I have a clearer understanding how to move on now and use this with more context.

LO5 demonstrate management, leadership and communication skills and have deployed them during the negotiation and production of the final body of work with your tutor and third parties.
