Evaluation We started Experimental Communication with destroying our own piece of arts, something new and unusual which I never thought I would enjoy doing, but the result came out as one of my favourite pieces from the whole module. Eversince this module started, everything was enjoyable and helping me through gaining more knowledge and experience in terms of art and design.

We had different workshops and we used and learnt how to use so many new tools and techniques.

For me they were a good through back to high school times, it reminded me of the times when I was just a passionate teenage girl in paintings who has been invited to study in a really big art school in Iran, and it all started there.

We used to study print and learn about how people used to do it back in times when they were no machines and it was always surprising me how the outcomes were so much beautiful that so many artworks that we produce now with printers.

I believe printing has a big wide world, which we had the chance to try screen and mono printing for the aim of this module.

First we had a useful induction to the print room and the facilities by one of the print making and texture tutor, then we all got the chance to try out some of our sketches on the screens and print them on different material.

The sketch that I chose, was a bit different to others. and it was also more colourful than others.

Therefore Ruth (tutor) advised me to use different screens in order to get keep the different colours on my print, and even though it would have taken more time, I preferred to keep my design as colourful as it was. So I prepared 4 different screens and started print on different sheets with different materials.

As I have forgot to put the crop marks on the screens it took me a lot longer than what I planned for just to finish few simple pages. However, the results pay off my work and made me satisfy with it.

Then our teacher gave us a complete induction to mono print and gave, show us some colourful examples in order to make a more clear vision for us. From mono prints, screen print was my favourites, so I decided to try various painting and design and experience this type of printing as well as the other ones. However, I also managed to do a different type of print on my spare time with Ruth and a friend of mine who is also really good in printing, and I thought it might be useful to include them as well.

The last project was also one of my favourite of this whole semester, as I really enjoyed working with the group and the people I was working wit. We decided to choose a meaningful message and video to project, instead of projecting a boring piece of art on our t shirts and just film it. That was when the idea for making an awareness movie came to us and we managed to make a good result for it too, which we are actually aiming to share with more people to spread our message. My role in this project was playing, filming, making the leukaemia spreads animation, and editing the final video, which I really enjoyed doing and I am so thankful of my group for all their help and hard works to make this happen.

Overall I wish I could spend more time to experience more and different kind of printings, so I would know which one to choose from in future. However, I found this module a great opportunity for experiencing communication.
