My blog for Body of Work is a place where I've documented experimenting and developing my creative practice, using theory to inform this process. In this post I describe ways to effectively navigate this blog as well as attaching a document outlining ways I believe I've achieved the Learning Outcomes.
Looking at Prints I’ve Made for (Re)constructing Deptford
I think the images I've produced for my Body of Work work best when printed at a large size. This is because there are some details in my images which wouldn't be as appreciable at a smaller print size. These include people who are distant in the frame and signs of wear in the older buildings. In this post I've documented my thoughts when looking at the prints. I also made a video of myself looking the prints and describing them, but for the purposes of this blog, the script I used to make the video still offers a good insight into how I perceive my images to work.

Evaluation of My Body of Work
Here is my evaluation for my Body of Work. It is quite lengthy at just under 2,000 words but describes quite thoroughly my journey through this module as well as looking forwards.
Presentation of My Project in a Website/Online Portfolio
I had two main objectives when creating my website/online portfolio. These included making the website look as clean and minimalist as possible in order to make the images the centre of attention. The second aim was to make the website accessible and easy to navigate.
Writing My Introduction for My Body of Work
I have written an introduction for my body of work. I found it difficult to get the balance right between going into too much depth about the project and simplifying it too much. Eventually I have arrived at something I am fairly happy with as an insight into how the work was created while still enticing the viewer to look at the images and poems.
