Overall feedback


Dear Ian

Many thanks for the time today and it was good to catch up in person.

Spoke about the timeline for the final two assignments for the course. If you do need a bit more time for Assignment 5, then you will be looking at the latest of mid-November to submit.

Assignment 2

Pages with images - keep the name and move it down a little

Then just have the age under the photo of the left, and the age under the photo on the right.

I think simplifying the text will make the viewer look at the images more to draw comparisons.


I have completed the amendments for this assignment and created a new book for submission.


Assignment 4

The two books I mentioned: Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross – you will also find several talks on YouTube with the authors speaking if you want to check out before.


The Artist in the Machine Arthur I Miller


I tried to order the book referred to for assignment 4 but it was unavailable however I did have the opportunity to view the YouTube video which was.

Spoke about AI


OCA Guidelines on using AI – just so you are aware for assessment. It is worth a close read of this, just to ensure that you are being clear about the use of AI in your work.



With consultation with my tutor and referring to the guidelines, I only use Grammarly for proof reading, grammar checks and slight amendments. This is an acceptable practice at the moment for submission.


Think how you will develop the imagery further – this is key for assignment 5.

How does the project evolve. What are the next steps? Assignment 5 allows you to produce additional work or rework the original idea into something else.

It is also important for assessment to ensure that the background research/ideas/thinking is all documented on your blog for this project.

Spoke about the work still to be uploaded for coursework and research.

Do look at the learning objectives on the link below. You can then target areas where you think you may not have enough evidence for assessment.

Remember that you can keep adding/amending/editing your work prior to the final submission date for assessment which is 12pm GMT on 22nd January 2025. This does mean that you have time to further develop ideas on your work or get things like books made.

Do get in touch when you are ready with assignment 5 and we can arrange a call.


A4 Reflection


At this point, have become quite unwell and have had to consult a medical specialist. I will continue to try and complete the remaining tasks as much as possible but in the meantime have to consider my health first. (Update: I contacted my tutor informing her of the situation. I will pass any additional information to her as I receive it). She has been very supportive and asked if I can let her know of anything she can do to help.
