...a written statement that reflects your accomplishments over the semester. This should take into consideration the expectations that you outlined at the beginning.
I felt that overall, I learnt alot in terms of technical skill of using equipment, which was what I was hoping to do at the beginning of the semester. Being exposed to a Fine Arts class has also broadened my concepts and expectations of what can be considered art. It has also taught me not to overcomplicate, or to at least try my best to simplify my ideas. Through the assignments, I have also found out what are the things I am naturally drawn towards, and it has helped me discover who I am, in a sense. Even though very often the final products do not turn out as I had envisioned them, I've learnt to compromise while still keeping the aesthetic appeal.
Also, because of this documentation process, I have picked up the habit of having my camera with me most of the time, in order to capture the process, as I have found that the pictures are the best way for me to remind myself of what my thought process was at the time.
Re-reading what I had written at the beginning of the semester, I have certainly come far from having little or no knowledge about the equipment and the materials.
my only regret is that several of my works are still unfinished in my eyes, and if only the workshop was open over the break, I would be able to refine the pieces just a little more for my own satisfaction. Perhaps when school reopens I might be able to do it in the first week... who knows.
It was an eventful class and I am grateful and glad that I had the opportunity to be in this class. I hope that I will have time to continue this practice to keep my memory and knowledge fresh. Cheers to a good semester's work!
