Creating a blog has allowed me to reflect on my first term at University and the work that I have been producing. It has also allowed me to focus on specific aspects of the course so far.
The blog forces you to think about your own artwork and the artwork that you are influenced by, which is incredibly useful as otherwise it can be really difficult to reflect on. It is a good way of thinking about the research and communications module as a whole, but it also involves different projects that you are working on.
This process has taught me about the importance of documenting my work regularly. Even if I choose to continue with a blog but it is not electronic or written on specific dates, it is useful to make a blog post every time we are set a new project at least.
In the future, I will try to keep some sort of written documentation of the work that I’ve created and the process that surrounds it. I will also make sure to use the library often because the tasks have really encouraged us as student to use it. The resources are great and cover a wide range of subjects.
