Peer Review: Evaluation of research

How well has the illustrator speculated around their research? Are they interrogating their research effectively to generate potential solutions?
- My peers think that i have made a thorough investigation into my chosen subject.
- I have lots of different perspectives and ideas around on place
- I have done a lot of fact finding, - have history and context of each subject.

Comment on the use of drawing as a research tool
- Need to draw more! -use as a research tool

Comment on the use of secondary research as a research tool
- A lot of secondary research - a lot of content
- I have been confident in talking to people and got a lot of first hand knowledge and experiences.

Which proposed themes/concepts at this point do you feel have the most potential for further development? What/ where should they go next with their research?
Their thoughts:
- Think I have enough research on each possible idea - its about narrowing down options and focusing.
possible directions:
- Whitby - minors - jewellry - workers. - look at the whole process. focus on the people? how they risked their life for a piece of rock. / The journey/process of making
- The SS Rohilla - tragic boat crash.
- Fossils - the life of a fossil. - what was that animal? how did it live? how did it come to be a fossil? - interested in discovering the journey.
- Ghost stories of York. - could focus on one story - combination of stories. - a tour guide of the cities haunted places? focus specifically - the golden fleece/Margaret Clitherow.

The ideas favourited by my peers are also the options that i would consider moving forward with. however four is a large amount to produce development for before our next crit. - i feel that i need to narrow down my options further, and focus on a couple of directions to present in the next group discussion.
i found this group feedback hugely helpful in me narrowing down my research, and confirming that my ideas have the potential to develop into a book.
