Hey Pau...Anatomy: Interim Online Review 05/10/2010<br /><br />Hey Paul,<br /><br />Great in-depth film review, nice life-drawing, head-studies, yes, animal pics, cute, charismatic style, certainly - not enough work! What’s clear to me already (and to Phil Hosking) is that you’re a bright, attentive student – hurrah for that, but your blog – as my only measure of your creative development – disappoints. In terms of content, it’s full of holes (one film review, no digital painting try-outs, no development sketches), and it tells me that your relationship to blogging is not yet ‘little and often’ but rather sporadic and ‘if I must’. <br /><br />Remember this; I’m not assessing the blog – I’m using the blog to assess your creative development. Showing me your creative development – impressing me with your speculations, investigations and fizzing grey matter – is your single most important JOB! To ‘develop creatively’ is why you’re here and why you’re paying to be here, so, for God’s sake, show me everything and don’t waste a single second. More than this, if you post ‘little and often’ – if you generate a creative buzz around your own work, you’ll generate feedback and quickly establish beneficial relationships with your classmates. Likewise, while it may seem ages off, at some point, your blog – if it’s a fantastic, creative space – will be visited and browsed by potential employers.tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2720908076645874336.post-16444935645228336222010-10-06T15:00:55.089+01:002010-10-06T15:00:55.089+01:00Anatomy: Interim Online Review 05/10/2010

There is a way of exporting your blog as PDF via Blogger – which would be ideal for this purpose. Incase you missed the original post, Alan gives details here:<br /><br />http://ucarochester-cgartsandanimation.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-turn-your-blog-into-pdf-document.html<br /><br />And finally – now is the time to return to the brief; time and again, students fail to submit what they’ve been asked to produce – and how; usually because they haven’t looked properly at the brief, or haven’t done so since week one. Trust me on this; just take a few minutes with a highlighter pen to identify what is required, when, and how. Remember – non-submissions are dumb!tutorphilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842833126210822641noreply@blogger.com
