I have learned how to think critically and what should and shouldn’t say when critiquing other’s works and also artistic thinking of how to make art professionally in Studio classes. In the seminar class, I learned more artists and read about them, which made me know more about what they are thinking and why they do art. Most importantly, I have learned the process of making arts and what those artists believe the art is. The seminar class helped a lot of thinking. I always write the artists’ name down during the class and look them up to see more of their artworks and why they do it, which helps me to think more about how should I do my project and how to think out of a box while doing projects. The topic in both studio and seminar class is the shift, by doing a project, I tried to present the meaning of transformation and how did my thoughts shift more deeply. By adding details to the different meaning, I learned and developed my ideas and understanding of shifting. The first project I did was a hand-shaped wax; this expanded my definition of memory, the interesting thing is that the memory it disappearing itself little by little because for this project, I couldn’t remember much details. It feels like before I could use a paragraph to describe the event happened to me, but now I can only use one sentence to describe. This explores the self by memorizing a particular event and present it abstractly.
