COP2 Weekly Update (Week Commencing: 02/12/19)

This is the last full week I have to work on COP before the deadline which means I need to make the most of it. At the beginning of this week, we had a lesson where we were set another task that involved writing an evaluation.

Halfway through the week, I continued to look through the suggestions my peers gave me in feedback sessions on what to paint in my visual journal. One suggestion, which links to my essay, was to look at a specific show/film which featured somewhat sexist or unfair designs between the male and women characters, and redesign them.

I looked at the characters from 'Inside Out' as not only had I researched this for my essay, however one of my classmates had suggested I specifically look at shapes, so I thought 'Inside Out' would be a good example. Another suggestion was 'Up' however I hadn't mentioned this in my essay, and was worried about time so if I had more time, I would also redesign the characters from that.

I continued to refine my practical sketchbook so that it was completely ready for when I record it and submit it. I also found a way to make my sketchbook even more symbiotic by incorporating the silhouettes I painted into my essay response.

At the end of the week, I proof read my essay again to triple check that everything was correct, and submitted it to estudio.

Then at the weekend, I visited home for the first time since I came back. As I knew I wouldn't get much done during this time, it was imperative that I made sure I achieved all the deadlines I set myself over the week so that I wouldn't have to do anything last minute next Monday, considering the deadline is Tuesday.
