In my final critique for studio I learned that I am able to produce impressive work. I have a high tendency to doubt myself, which has caused me to not enjoy many of the pieces I’ve made this semester and deem them as “bad” or “not successful.”. However, seeing my final design and how I chose to play with light made me feel like I had actually accomplished something. I struggled a lot with the concept for this project, and felt very unsatisfied with my first idea. Somehow I was able to turn things around in the last week and make something that worked completely. When I turned the lights off to show my lamp, everyone in my class said, “Wow” which made me feel really good. However, I realized that in that moment I should be more confident in the work that I produce going forward and that I should be the one to like what I have done.
