FMP evaluation

Declaration of Authenticity; I confirm that the attached assessment is all my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself and sources have been appropriately referenced. 

 Research and Planning 

I feel my ideas have been developed but ever so slightly as my ideas have stayed the same, as it goes for the focus yes, that has changed as I never had one in the beginning. I originally was going to do a person but as I looked back over my work from the years, I have been here I decided to go back to my first-year idea, the idea of horses and how we only see them as beautiful and to ride. 

I think I could have done more to reference and research as it was all more or less laid out for me, and I took that as an opportunity to get ahead of the game and see what I could do with this material. Although as time went by, I realized I needed a lot more material and references to achieve what I wanted. 

I mostly investigated abuse movements, I looked at the various abuse of horses such as over feeding, not feeding, mental abuse as well as physical etc., I cannot really say an awful lot of movements have inspired me throughout this course. 

My ideas have developed ever so slightly, mostly throughout drawing it. I had a lot of ideas that would have looked great but cluttered, so I removed them and stuck to what I wanted to achieve, once I’ve got my mind set onto something it is hard for me to shake off any original ideas or new ones, but sometimes you have just got to say no to them. 

I think I have done well searching for my theme ideas (such as mood board), they gave me a lot of inspiration to be weird and creepy with what I wanted to do, I looked at them when I was lost and thought what I can do, what can I add to this to make it look like this. This was a strong hold for me. 

I wished I were not so lazy on researching on how to practice drawing things such as the guts, I really struggled on these as I did not want them to be too plain or too over detailed as its not meant to be, but I do regret not doing more research, overestimated my ability. 

Evaluating my Final Piece 

I used digital art, it is simply a case of screenshot and store it for the process after, otherwise I did not really use any videography techniques. 

I wanted to convey violence in my FMP, and it was successful. I want people to see horses as more as just their coat and being majestic and beautiful, I made them as lovely as I could and completely ruined them by making them suffer in the image I had done. To know most horses only know is suffering I wanted to make it clear, we use them like objects and to me a carousel is a perfect representation of it. 

I really like my FMP, I think I done an excellent job at everything overall, I really could have done so much better on the background but really my focus was the horses and making them look as detailed as I could, make everything stand out and to make sure only important parts were really done well. I could have done better on the decoration on the horse as it was rushed, I will say but regardless of it still fits and looks incredibly beautiful. 

There really is not anything I would change on this, if I really had to pick, I would say trying out a different decoration set would have been quite fun to do as the possibilities are infinite.
