7. REFLECTION
What have I learnt in this module?
I have learned that design principles are important in
our composition. They not only improve the overall
composition of the artwork but also help us develop a
sense of beauty when creating art. Artists who are very
familiar with design principles can easily create
compositions that are interesting, impactful,
harmonious, and more.
What did I enjoy the most?
I enjoy analyzing amazing artwork, so I really enjoyed
Task 2. When the lectures I take become a tool for my
analysis, I understand why people say "Reading from
books and actually applying that knowledge are two
completely different experiences", it really is
different. I love new things, and I enjoy this kind of
new experience!
What did I not enjoy the most?
I have a bad habit, I tend to be more emotional than
rational when receiving advice. In the moment, the first
thought that comes to my mind is "Why am I this bad? I
shouldn't be this bad." Maybe it's because I haven't
been in an environment surrounded by talented and
hardworking artists before. I rarely received useful
advice for my work, and I’m extremely competitive
><. That’s why I’m really grateful for Mr.
Martin’s advice. He is gentle and doesn’t push me too
hard. His feedback is REALLY useful, and my work has
improved because of it. It’s just that I’m not used to
it. So, I didn’t really enjoy the moment when negative
emotions started rising. But after some time, I become
rational again, so it’s just a small incident no
biggie!
What have I learnt about myself through this module?
I have learnt that, if I am focusing too much on
something I will be so persistent in it. For example at
first I didn't realize how persistent I am when I am
creating those 3 sketches. I am to focus on the title
causing I miss out other information/key point. In this
kind of situation, the way to break this focus is
getting advice from someone. In the future, I think I am
going to try thinking more various idea instead of
focusing on a single point. By doing this, I hope my
work will be more various and fun.
What has changed and what has not in my learning
journey?
What has changed:
I think it’s just the way I think? I’m a
perfectionist and not used to receiving advice when it
comes to art. But now, I realize that maybe I
shouldn’t push myself too hard. If I can’t achieve
100%, getting 80% isn’t a bad thing, it just means I
still have room to improve.
What has not changed:
Eager to learn more about techniques and lectures?
(Ahhh, it’s quite embarrassing to say it out loud,
haha!) But honestly, I’m really happy that I’ve learned
something new and received useful advice. It’s quite
ironic, I’m scared of getting feedback, yet at the same
time, I hope my lecturer gives me extremely helpful
suggestions. I can’t wait to learn more and continue
growing into a better artist!
What are my aspirations?
I hope to learn more about art and enhance my sense
of beauty in it. "To truly have fun you must have strength as well." I
hope to master the techniques and knowledge that will
allow me to draw more freely in the future. It doesn’t
have to happen quickly, I’ll be grateful as long as my
progress is steady. I hope that one day, when I look
back at my past tasks and artwork, I can laugh and
think, "I’ve really grown a lot."
