Exercise 3: Digital Presentation

    • Produce a digital presentation documenting a selection of final outcomes from the unit. Depending on your discipline and working methods, the format and character of the portfolio will be specific to you and should be a professional representation of your practice. You may choose to create an audio/visual video presentation, use Google Slides or Powerpoint, or any other platform that you feel comfortable with (just ensure to check against the accepted file types on OCA Learn Assignments). What platforms can you share your presentation on; Instagram, blog, websites, LinkedIn? Can you share with friends and family? Local community groups? Can you use it to apply for opportunities, competitions, exhibitions etc?

  • Having your work looked at and considered by other creative practitioners is the first step not only to discovering what others think of your work, but also to assessing whether you agree with their critical interpretation of your work. Your next step is therefore to find an appropriate point at which to reach out and invite peers to look, read, listen or all of these.

  • Giving Feedback
  • As well as receiving feedback from others, you should try to take part in giving feedback to other creative practitioners. If you’re critiquing other people’s work, make sure you prepare by looking at their work in advance. Listen carefully and try to help them resolve issues in their practice by asking questions that will prompt them to find their own solutions.
