2. Reflect on your process. Post your free writing on your project and also responses to the following questions on the learning portfolio by Wednesday:
- What did you already know about the topic you are researching and working with when you started? What do you understand now?
- How is the progress on the project development going and what are the challenges and frustrations that have come up so far? What can you do to address these?
- How are you working differently than you normally do through this project? How are you working the same?
- State the art (historical or contemporary) and societal contexts where your work resides.
- State questions that you have about the project and work.
I already knew about the topic based on my own observations from being in the city since I was little. Now, I understand more of where these people are coming from and why they are doing what they love to do so publicly and free. The progress on the development has been a little hard because I knew the message I wanted to send, but I didn’t want to do it in a obvious way. I want to do it more symbolic. I found out how to do it in a symbolic way and less more of seeing a scene. I usually sketch out a lot of different drawings because I always have a solid idea of of what I will draw, but I have sketched out a lot of different ideas I have about this project. My work resides in a more contemporary issue also it deals with poverty. It deals with the pressure of the city. How am I going to present the people as energies around the man I’m centering my work on? How am I telling the story in one piece?
