Rile em Up 2014
In the Rile em Up 2014 project, I overcame many obstacles through critiques from my peers in my critique group which consisted of me, Deme, Chloe, and Ethan. I though that when my work was critiqued by any person in this group or if someone in my group gave me helpful advice/tips, I could trust that help. In this project, we had to research a political topic and create stencil art and another art piece in a medium of our choice that connected back to the topic that we chose. I learned a lot of things during this project, including facts about topics outside of my own. I especially learned tons about gun control because that was my topic. I think that managing my work properly was a key factor in this project that allowed me to keep completing each assignment that was assigned to us. The main struggle that I had to overcome was the art portion of the project. I am not that good of an artist, so anything that involved me drawing, I had struggles with, but I overcame this with perseverance and thinking of the reward after all of my efforts. When it comes to work ethic during this project, I spent a lot of time in class working on the Humanities portion of the project, but I had little concentration on the Physics portion and it later caused me to fall slightly behind on that part. I think I could improve better on not staying focused on one thing too long so I don't fall behind on other important things. One thing I would change about this project is the artsier portion of it so that I don't spend too much time on certain mediums, and figure out one that best fits me.
