What Ways I Will Evaluate My Progress?
Reviewing my sketchbooks
As an artist, I bring my sketchbook everywhere and sketch many things. The good thing is that I never tear out a page from my sketchbook because it is a Moleskine; Moleskine is expensive, so I do not have a heart to tear it apart. Therefore, it is relatively easy to check my progress. I just have to flip through my past sketchbooks and reflect on what I have done better than before.
Setting expectation
Expectation makes me start working on a project because I feel obliged to fulfill it. I make expectation through looking at professional's work, and I set a realistic one for myself based on that. At the end of the project, I will usually refer back to my initial expectation compare that to the end product.
Keep track on what I have been doing
Checklists are essential to discipline myself so that I can finish my work on time. I make them on daily basis by writing each of them on a sticky note. Hence, I can evaluate my day-to-day productivity and reflect on what I can do better for the next day.
Crosschecking my work with the learning outcomes of a module
Despite what I went through on the preparation of working on a project, I am still paranoid about the quality of work I am doing. So, I often look at the learning outcomes which I perceive as guidelines to evaluate whether my work has reached the expectation.
Criticism
I am a little bit extreme feedback seeker because I always go to the most critical friend of mine to give an opinion on my artwork. One one hand it seems like I am hurting myself by doing so. One the other hand, I value such criticism the most because they make me realise where I stand.
