I chose to study on this program, after completing a foundation at leeds college of art. On that course i was encouraged to explore animation, as my work seemed to include particular elements to do with animation, with story telling, and character design. Once i began to explore animation, i found out it did include alot of elements i liked within art and the course i was on at the time. I decided to stay at LCA as i already new the way the institute worked and liked the way it was run, the city and also the tutors on the course and atmosphere made me want to stay after exploring other options. I really liked the new course that was being opened and felt like it was the right one for me.
What do you want to learn during your time on the programme?
I want to learn new skills and find ways to expand the skills i already possess. I especially want to push my computer skills as they are very poor, which is funny when my father is very IT based but me and computers just arnt friends. I want to learn to be more independent with my work and try and get commissioned for work by the end, or get the confidence to complete external briefs also.
What skills do you think are your strengths?
Right now making models is probably my strongest point, although even that is not great and needs a lot of work within the 3 years on the course. I think team work is possibly a strong point, although right now i dont feel i have many strengths. Possibly my approach to my work could be a strength as i find new ways of doing things through trying to get out of animating on a computer which although may not seem like a strong point i think it has up to now helped my work stand out that little but more in some cases.
What things that you want to improve?
my drawing skills, i need to draw more actively possibly try and do a 'doodle a day' and make sure i am constantly drawing, along with drawing on a tablet. Using computer software to animate is something i really need to push at and improve at as it is a skill i really need to have. Also story telling and my writing skills are both things i could improve a lot at.
What ways you will evaluate your progress?
through reflection, looking back at work. Through the evaluations i will write and this blog also to help keep a time like, and track of my work and its progress as the year goes on.
