In summary the blog posts have helped me theoretically understand my work along with others. The tasks have allowed me to understand the development of my work and ideas better. In particular the invention of my own mode of practice was particularly useful to narrow down the specific media’s I wanted to work with. Another task I particularly enjoyed was appropriating an image. Before this I viewed using other people’s ideas in my work as wrong. Now looking back I feel like I was being very narrow minded. I wanted to be individual in my work but now I have done this task I can see that you can still make work that is different whilst relating to another’s concept. Task 10 was helpful in thinking about the basic concepts and ideas of my work. The tasks set based on research were also interesting and helpful. The book review was in particular a challenge for me as I chose an in-depth book based on an unfamiliar subject however it was also very rewarding learning about something completely alien to me. I also analysed three pieces of work in depth that I had not looked into before. By far, the task I struggled with the most was comparing texts. From this I learnt to reread over things until you understand them better.
