We had a lecture about the importance of how we present our work. Because it would be impossible to take all our work around everywhere we go; for example to each tutorial, we are examined on the evidence we provide. So firstly, work should be presented in a way which makes it look as good as possible, such as scanning in drawings to keep the details, or properly lighting and photographing 3D sculptures.
As we can only be examined on what we submit, work needs to be properly written up on blogs or shown in sketchbooks. When writing about our work, we were told that it is important to fully analyse our outcomes. An easy way of doing this is to make sure you simply answer 'what did I do?' to give a basic description, 'how well did I do that?' to critically analyse the outcome, and then 'what would I do to improve the piece next time?' to be able to understand the weaker parts of the piece or see the potential of the piece you have ended up with.
What separates good analytical writing from bland description is not only describing your work, but reflecting on it to gain a greater understanding of it's potential and merit.
