   For talking colour and pattern you have used a wide variety and range of mediums to create the pieces. I like that in some of the talking colour pieces for example the drawing of the cat, you have used bright colours to illustrate something that came from a more plain coloured reference. I think this shows a good understanding of shading and use of colour. I like how abstract a lot of the pieces are too and I find it effective how you have portrayed graffiti in your pieces that came from the initial research around London. I think you have successfully created pieces that are based on street art without just drawing a picture of some graffiti you saw.

   I also enjoy the talking pattern pieces and I can imagine these translating well into textiles pieces. I would say some of the themes of pattern are fairly similar which next time could be something to change slightly. I also like how you have shown your reference for one of the pieces because I think it effectively shows how you took the pattern from the photo. I also like the choice of colours in the pattern pieces, I think combining contrasting colours could be effective as well in future. I think it brings together the patterns well and the colours are well chosen meaning you’re not too distracted by them and it’s the pattern that stands out most.

   Overall you have responded well to the brief and submitted the correct amounts of drawings with a range of different mediums and some different styles too which I think responds well to the project brief.
