My initial fears :http://natsart7ajournal.blogspot.com/2011/03/tuesday-concernsfears-regarding-class.html
So in a nutshell, my initial concerns about the class consisted of time management (or lack there of) and my shyness. After reading this entry now I still consider these two things to be hurdles that I must overcome, but they definitely did not hold me back in this class. After our first project, the Confession project, I think that our entire class felt close to one another. Most of the confessions were really serious but everybody offered respectful and helpful critiques. We started to all really have fun together and create assignments as a class. For example, our flash mob exercise required everyone's participation. I did not feel pressured at all although I might have considered some of the things were doing to be a little embarrassing. It did not matter though, everything we did was so much fun! I felt comfortable enough to speak out in class as much as possible. In fact I probably spoke out the most in this class, more than any other class I have before. I am very happy about that. I think it is easier in art classes to be outspoken because it is required if we want proper feedback.
The other thing I was concerned about was time management. Although I am crunched for time as I currently write this, I think that I managed my time a lot better during this quarter. It helped that our projects were more spaced out. I think that having two longer sections within the week definitely helped this. Also I liked how not everything counted as a full-fledged project. I think it was a good idea to have a percentage of projects, assignments, and exercises so that I could plan about how much time I would focus on each thing.
