Here they are the final posts for the LCC Certificate in Illustration Final Major Project. I hope that the content will help you to understand more about the processes each artist goes through in order to achieve the required results. There is a lot of work to look at and my comments about each project reflect the methods of working adopted by each artist and not my personal opinions or the assessment grade achieved.
Direct reference to my assessment feedback is not possible as this information is confidential. I can annouce that I was able to award 5 DISTINCTIONS, 4 MERITS and 6 PASSES. No students failed the course or withdrew during the period of the Final Major Project.
The course has now been closed (Government funding for this type of course has been greatly reduced in 2009) and I would like to thank all staff and students who have worked on the course over the last five years and I wish them every luck for the future.
I will be back later in the summer with more news of my comic book scripts and a sneak preview of '100 DATES'
Peace be upon you.

LCC Cert in Illustration Final Major Project Term 3



WEIR DER CHERNG: This work was completed with minimum engagement from the student. It is very disappointing when a student does not feel it is necessary to attend lectures or ask for support from the tutor or other students. Weir Der needs to think carefully about his life and his attitude to his studies. Very sad moment for me as an educator.

VALERIA SUSLOVA: This student was able to develop a method of working that suited the context for the project well. I can only guess at the standards she would have achieved if she had taken more advice from her tutor and fellow students. It is the start of a whole new approach to image making for Valeria and she needs to monoplise on these developments.





STEFANO TERRANOVA: This work is the most sophisitcated produced by this group of students with a long and interesting future for this project after the end of the course. Stefano needs to improve his reflective learning and to write down his thoughts for consideration. This a major part of design education and continued ideas generation.

CHANDRA SOUTHALL: These are the final artworks for this project. Much experimentation with techniques and compositions occured to make this a successful project. Chandra's work evolved during the project and shows she is able to intepret the writing of a fellow artist effectively. Good drawing skills employed and colour scheme.





KAREN RAINGOLD 3: This work is stunning and shows that Karen is maturing as an artist. Her work on this project has been of the highest standard and her dedication to using visual communication to express emotive issues goes from strength to strength. I like her experimentation with software and the fact that she worked to a tight schedule that helped complete the project early.





SABRINA SERRAT 3: Sabrina's diary works well and looks like the creation of an adolecent girl as intended. It is a pity that the diary has no cover and that the production quality of the book is rathered limited. It is a facinating account of a young woman's progress in London but could have been enhanced greatly by research into other diary writers and comparrisons made. Contexualisation can added weight to a project and it would have been beneficial to see why Sabrina choose the events she did for the diary.

FRAN LLOYD: Due to unforseen circumstances Fran was unable to complete her work to the deadline of 4 June 2009. It has been agreed that she will submit her Final Major Project for assessment on 1 September 2009.





MARK CABELLERO 3: This project started out very well showing that Mark understands research methods effectively. However the work is limited by the technique employed to render the more detailed symbolic objects. The work requires scale and I suggest Mark projects these images onto a large wall and records the results.

LCC Cert in Illustration Final Major Project Term 3
FINAL CRIT: At this session 12 students showed their work and explained how the had got to this stage of development. All those present seemed confident that they would have the FMP completed by the Deadline of 4 pm on Thursday 4 June 2009.
The students who did not attend the session were all contacted and reminded of their obligation to complete the FMP. After I complete my assessment another illustration tutor double marks the FMP’s. The Examination Body ABC will then send in an External Moderator to check that the standard of the assessment is appropriate.
I will upload all the completed FMP's and my comments after Thursday 25 June 2009. All original artwork displayed is the copyright of the individually named artists.
