I think I engaged well with the 2d workshops and really enjoyed combining all of the taught elements – collage/paint/print. The workshops forced me to use my theme and imagery with methods of working I would have otherwise neglected (collage). As the project continued in the later weeks, I did have to pause on making work and return back to researching my theme in order to add context back to my work as I felt my work and the imagery I was using was becoming repetitive.  When I was producing work I was doing so large volume without stepping back to evaluate on what elements were successful as much as I should have been in order to push the work in the right direction. In the end I did have about 3 or 4 pieces I felt had enough working to effectivity communicating my menacing theme. However, I wish I had managed my time better and not having that period where I felt stuck, I would have had more time to scale up more resolved work. Given more time I would have also liked to edit some of my work digitally and play around with layers and distorting the colours a lot more. I think the feedback I received from my crit was helpful as it highlighted other elements of my theme I could consider more and encouraged me to scale up my work as well as playing around with some of the existing imagery in photoshop.
