Crit Presentation Feedback

Integrating Previous Presentations' Feedback

The key points I was advised to optimize/change for this presentation were as follows:

1. Define aesthetic criteria
2. Explain goals and meaning of my artwork
3. Summarize aesthetic journey and further development plans
4. Presentation length (last one too short)

So beneath is my approach on implementing the advice:

1. The presentation starts with some thoughts on my aesthetic vision and developing criteria which is divided into 12 key points. These are still quite broad and cover a lot of content at the time. The most important ones to me are slowly crystallizing though and will be defined and explained in my final presentation.  
2. 
   
1. I then continue with some environment sketches and explain my thoughts and intent in them. The sketches serve as a foundation for some of the paintings I did and am planning to do covering different themes such as personal meaning and emotive expression, composition and balance, as well as light and colour theory.
2. For the main artwork of this presentation, "A Storm is Brewing", I added more critical analysis and reasoning to explain the development process and meaning of the art work. This also included inspirational artwork that influenced the painting.
3. While presenting the digital painting "A Storm is Brewing" I will try to summarize my aesthetic journey and state how this painting has expanded my vision on art and how it will influence my next painting. 
4. I also added photography research and analysed individual photographs on composition, lighting and colour, which adds some research and a new medium than the up until now solely painting examples. Also, the alterations mentioned in the previous points added content and I should have a good presentation length now.
