For some, group tutorials can be rather daunting. For me, I prefer them to one on one because we can bounce ideas around, gain confidence in public speaking plus gain more feedback. However, I do admit I was rather nervous about my first group tutorial. Not only was I showcasing my summer project (which could have easily been shot down), I was also 'pitching' myself to tutors I have never shown my work to. I could also sense a certain tension in the air from other students, that made me feel uneasy. Topped with the fact that this was our final year. 'The year that counts'.
I had made the piece above to show at my first tutorial, and when Juan Cruz started to say 'I think this piece is boring' I almost sunk right down into my seat and hoped to melt away. But he carried on talking. This in fact made me feel better because I think he was seeing the point to the piece. It wasn't made to stand out. It was, in a sense, made to be overlooked. At the moment I am considering to add more objects to the piece and hopefully create a short film. This is my first attempt at film, hopefully I won't get too stressed out!
