PRACTITIONER

5 Strengths

- Very reflective, constantly critical of practice
- Ambitious with my work and always expect the best of myself
- Obsessive and perfectionist
- Attention to detail
- Willing to get lost in work and process

5 Weaknesses

- Perhaps too critical, which can hinder my creativity or experimentation
- Not always willing to try new techniques and varied approaches, tend to stick to my own habits and ways of creating images e.g. shying away from colour
- Haven't yet found a way to separate thinking from doing, could instead be more spontaneous and confident with my creative process
- Need to spend more time developing my actual drawing/image making ability to then implement when my ideas follow
- Could do with reflecting on my intentions more and consolidating a tone of voice and intention that I want my practice to become, to keep coming back to this and aligning my work thereafter.

STUDENT

5 Strengths

- Ambitious with this course, the desire to succeed as a student of the discipline and to make something of it
- Try to look after myself as much as possible, very rarely over-do the party side of being a student
- Good attendance and engagement with discussions and seminars, want to be involved with course

- Interests outside of practice and uni which help inform what I do with my work and also act as a break from uni

5 Weaknesses

- Not always the most outgoing, may have missed some possible friendships that could've arose had I been more sociable
- Perhaps haven't fell totally in love with Leeds as a place due to missing Manchester and all that it contains
- Can put work off till tomorrow (or the day after), need to implement a more defined pattern of working, more hours into work, less distraction
