Today, September 28 was the first day of class and I had no idea what the class was about. I have to take this class regardless, since it is a requirement for my major. Now that I understand what this course is about, I am actually more excited about it because it is going to help me in the future for my career to see things differently. This class will help me to analyze an object or a certain idea rather than just putting a drawing on a piece paper. It will help me to brainstorm and gather ideas, understand how to evaluate thing, go beyond my thoughts and create something that I am not used to. I, as a art student, love to create things that are different and extra ordinary, rather than just simple and ordinary. This is an exciting course for me and it is going to be pretty challenging since I am taking 14 units, my first year in California State University and being a mother of 2 kids. However, if a course is not challenging for me, then it is a waste of time.
The biggest challenge in this class for me would be the Perception exercise, which is the apple project. I don't think it is a hard assignment, but it involves a lot of thinking and experimenting, and observing, which makes this project challenging. For me, thinking about something or coming up with an idea is the most difficult part of any project. Now, doing the actual project is fun, easy and interesting and the results and pretty satisfying. The biggest satisfaction for me is doing something that is beyond my limits and my expectations. I already have couple of different and unusual ideas in my head that I will use on this project, hopefully
it comes out the way I imagine it. I look forward to this class.

So you also think that the apple project is a big challenge. I suppose ideas will flow in like a wild flood in the beginning but what happens at week six or further along? will the ideas start to dry up? i too face these problems but it should be interesting how we come up with ideas to represent the apple, if it doesn't turn to mush on us first.
ReplyDeleteI completely felt the same way on the first day of class. I didn't know what to expect. Your comment about the apple is dead on. It will be hard and challenging but will also broaden our horizens on how we develop ideas. I am also on the same page as you where you liked being challeged and experimenting new ideas. This class will test us into thinking abnormally, I'm looking forward to it as well.
