Study Task 1

5 Reasons for Studying Illustration
  • it's a good balance between design and non-design based art
  • I love to draw (I particularly enjoy designing characters)
  • There's a lot of room for experimentation with media, themes and everything really
  • A lot of the art I have been interested in & been influenced by is some form of illustration
  • I am interested in working with narratives &communicating through art 
5 Reasons for choosing this program
  • I had wanted to go to LCA since I was a wee babe (12). I was chuffed when LCA started their own illustration course.
  • It was highly recommended by the first lot of students
  • I know Leeds pretty okay so I can focus more on the course than trying to navigate a new place
  • Teaches professional skills that I can take out into the big wide world
  • Great facilities (print room, mac suites, equipment available) the art making possibilities are endless
5 of my Strengths
  • Drawing girls
  • Drawing spooky things 
  • eyebrows always on point 
  • Painting with watercolour 
  • I can draw bodies from life pretty well
5 Things I want to improve on
  • Digital drawing
  • Considering the context of the work (on foundation I had a lot of trouble thinking of where my images would be seen so I would like to improve on always considering the context in both mine and other peoples work)
  • Managing my time effectively
  • Finding more creative solutions to a brief/idea/problem etc
  • Not being so shy about meanings and ideas behind my work
