Final Statement Summary
REVIEW OF FINAL MAJOR PROJECT
(FMP)
Student
Name: Amaka Anyimukwu Pathway:F&T foundation
Final
Major Project Title: Attachment within Addiction
You will
need to submit this evaluation with your full project hand in
|
1. Briefly
describe the final outcome of your project and the progress you have made,
and if applicable how it differs from your original Project Proposal:
|
|
My 8 week project for the FMP was Attachment within
Addiction with my end final piece being one full garment for menswear, with a
photo shoot and a short film. In the essence of my project as a whole I feel
that I have learnt a lot on the course and really have broadened my way of
working. I feel that I have learnt skills that before I would not have been
able to do, such as making a full garment, as I would have to say my sewing
skill before were not the best. In the essence of my work I have slowly
started to move away from my comfort zone to explore more ideas that wouldn’t
first cross my mind. I believe through this project I have also learnt to
self critique if I wasn’t doing a particular thing right, revolving in
alteration until I am completely confident with what I have done.

I was very pleased
with how my final piece turned out and I feel that I have made a lot of
progress and have learnt so much during my project, plus managing my time
using the FMP planner timetable really worked for me as through the project I
didn’t feel as though I was falling behind or having to rush due to lack of
time; I was able to work strictly to my planner which allowed my project to
go by smoothly. Through the FMP plan
research was something that was a strong point for me in this project as I
allowed myself a lot of time to fully explore my theme and to really dive in
deep to gathering ideas that I wouldn’t originally think of first hand, and
as before my research wasn’t practically my strong point so I was very
pleased that I focused more upon it which also made my sketchbook flow more
and displayed a much more clearer concept.

3. List the
targets met (from the original FMP Plan and any that were added later):
|
|
Time management when creating my garment was something
that too went smoothly as I was able to plan out exactly how many days needed
to make it so I didn’t end up spending too long or a little amount of time to
make it which resolved in me taking my time to make it causing little to no
mistakes in the making. I hope to take these with me in my future course of
managing my time well and really developing further my ideas.
Sewing button holes, sleeves, and trousers is one of the
many skills that I have grasped during my project as well as having the
awareness to develop and explore colours, making that a priority when
designing a piece. Nonetheless there are still aspects I hope to continue at
and get better, which would include design development in more depth as I
still feel the urge to rush into a design without considering the extension
of structure and shape which could affect the way my final garments are made,
causing similar final garments. My
pattern cutting skills is something that I too need to practice, as I am
unable to really go outside the box if my pattern cutting skills are minor.

4.
Reflecting on your overall final major project, please discuss any
developments which have contributed to the final outcome:
|
|
When starting my FMP I originally wanted to focus upon
very intense, vibrant neon colours as going through my research the vibrant
colours is what attracted me the most and I felt lured in by its striking
appearance; however as my project went on, I had struggles coming to terms
with how the neon colours would blend together as a whole piece, as I began
to feel a little unsure with the whole idea of using colours so bold. In
terms to my project I also felt that it didn’t really relate, especially when
my project began to turn quite personal and more so looking into self-esteem
and youth, it just didn’t seem to work for me anymore resolving in a change
of colour.

5. Please
state what advice you received from others during your FMP, and discuss what
you found particularly useful: you should refer to group reviews, one-to-one
tutorials and feedback from evaluation groups
|
|
During my group reviews I was told by my tutor that my
project initially was not personal enough and it seemed that ‘addiction’
seemed to only be based around others lives or in the general rather than my
own life, which I could understand where he was coming from. This is when I
decided to look into obesity due to my lack of self- esteem, and layers of
skin with the use of fabric samples and looking into an artist called Jenny
Saville this brought my attention to skin tones and the way the colours
change within mood and each stage of the skin which I found very fascinating,
making me divert my colour scheme towards nude colours and delicate pinks.

6. Key
points to take away – things to change about my approach (give at least 2) eg
improve time management, what skills you have developed and how this will
affect your future course/career and things to continue doing and to build on
(give at least 2). What are you going to do next year?
(NOTE – you
may find it useful to refer to this document at the beginning of your next
self managed project.
|
|
During the project I have been much more careful with my
time, and have been able to mange my days well and keep strictly to my
schedule. I feel this will affect my future course as I will be able to work
according to deadlines and not fall behind or run out of time. Thinking into
more depth of future projects will also be something that is my priority as
well as focusing on research for future projects. As I enjoyed doing menswear
so much I feel that next year I will be moving on to do a full menswear
course.
