My blog documents the way in which I view art and the world around me. It shows how I think, comprehend and understand what I see, hear and feel. Further yet it displays this for other people to see allowing them to understand my views, processes and concepts.

In completing my blog, I have been able to further my understanding of art and the concepts behind it. This includes but is not exclusive to philosophy, theory, politics, appropriation, process and history. It has also developed my research skills in locating, understanding and referencing information.

The blog has allowed me to develop my studio practice skills by allowing me to apply my new knowledge into advancing my concepts and problem solving my processes and techniques. It has opened up a new door of opportunity in which I can now successfully and reliably find and discover new approaches to my work and apply them. It has made me more accepting of alternative opinions and views of art, whilst also allowing me the opportunity to break down these opinions and views in order to develop my own.

Tasks 6 and 7 were of particular interest to me as they allowed me to expand my knowledge and consider period’s art and materials that I would have previously dismissed. In doing so, it has greatly expanded what I would consider to be my areas of interest and my art practice.
