Category Archives: Assessment

In moving my blog to a this new site and having to do a lot of it manually, I have noticed the poor areas of work which I had skipped over at the time, so perhaps I should have expected the low grading of this course. Some areas were definitely lacking in my work – a wakeup call for me!!

I think there are fewer of these areas in my printmaking work, so am hopeful for a better grade when I submit this for assessment in November. I am also reviewing how I go about my work in my sculpture course, with the aim of achieving a much higher grade in this area of work.

Well I passed, but it was a bare scrape through, with a mark of 41%. I didn’t think I had excelled on the course, but I thought I had done a lot better than that! My tutor’s comments that my last piece was “what I think is a successful culmination to your course” doesn’t seem to ring true now either! I am very disappointed with this grade, but at least it is a pass I guess.

It will be interesting to see how I perform on my Printmaking 1 course – I think I did better on this course, but we will see! I am doing work on it now to try to improve what I have (and I will be concentrating more on my sketchbook work in my Sculpture 1 course). If I perform similarly badly, then I need to have a very serious review of what I am doing before I get onto stage 2.
