Keep a simple practice record
Use one folder or notebook for each exercise. Record the date, lesson, goal and the question you want to ask. Keep the original attempt alongside the repeat so you can see what changed. For delicate designs, use the fine-line practice review checklist to prepare a focused tutor question.
- Write one aim before starting.
- Save an unfiltered photograph of the completed exercise.
- Record your tutor’s feedback accurately.
- Repeat the exercise with one deliberate adjustment.
Use the printable practice record (A4 PDF) to keep an original attempt and its repeat together, with dates, one goal, tutor feedback and the next change to try.
