I am familiar with the blog layout because I was required to have one in Media Studies which I studied for A-Level. I enjoyed having a space where I could write about my work in a less formal way than an essay. I also used the blog technique in my Foundation Art course in college and I found it very motivational to look back on my thoughts and previous work that I had done throughout the year when it came to writing the final evaluation at the end of the year.

Personally I think that the research and communication module has helped me find and research other artists and learn about the differences and similarities with contemporary art and modern art.

Having the blog has also helped me with time management because there is a lot going on in the course and it was helpful to understand that I had and needed to set time aside to research different artists and theories so that I could complete the tasks we were given. I particularly liked task 3 where we had to analyse an image because it really made me think about the thought that went into Nikki S.Lee’s project. I also really liked task 10 because it made me think about my work as an artist and reflect on my thoughts and processes which I know will help me in the future when it comes to creating work. Task 7 was the hardest for me because I really didn’t understand the texts and found it difficult to understand what they were talking about and how to compare them.
