Evaluation (See guidance below for more information)

You are required to write a 500 word evaluation of this module.

Throughout this Module, I gained many skills and experienced new tools. For example, I made GIFs, I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator, and I tried to use some 3D element in my work such as fabric, plastic bag, paper folding. More importantly, I realized in this module, it including many thinking, considering and planning. In the process of making illustrations, needs to found out what is successful, what is great and what makes this project exceptional. When I had some problem, ask people about it, listen to their opinion and what they suggest. In the way found the solution to solve the problem. Don’t worry if things turn out quite badly; it is also a process of experiencing and learning. I am grateful to be in these sessions and finished those tasks. I am pleased I had the chance to make GIFs in the first brief. Creating an animation is one of my dreams, it promoted me to drawing and study art. Although GIF only has like about 3 sec long, it is still very exciting. Because of this brief, I even brought an A4 size light box. I saw many comic designs has it, and I finally get one on my own. The second brief I had a mixed feeling out it. I was much struggled coming out of ideas about acts of kindness, though it sounds like a very simple task, we can only use shapes. This is a lot harder that I thought. Also as a beginner of Adobe Illustrator, I found it tough at first, but I believe this will get better when I use this program more offend. I am quite happy with the last brief, not only because I am interested in Martha Graham, I very like her dance, but also I had that I idea which I never think of before, and I don’t even have a clue how can I generate this idea. The answer is simple, just try everything I think that probably will work. Some didn’t turn well like the plastic bag, but then I used fabric I suddenly feel that this is that kind of feeling I want to create. During this module, I realized many of my weakness such as lack of idea and imagination. From making GIFs to making stickers, I stuck to these two task many times. Every time I look at other people’s work, I will have that kind of thought wish I could have a thought of that. I think I need to do more reading and research to open my eye and mind. I decide to study and practice my imagination in this summer. I think I really should to relax and clam down sometimes and try to find some of my imagination like what I was when I was younger. Overall, I am very enjoying this module.
