Reflective post about my work.

-

I would like to start by saying that it is a very good privilege for me to be doing a course that i have been longing to do in university that is media and communication.The last about 3 months were soo important for my course journey and that have been my best experience in life.The fact that Digital arts module was more of practical i loved the sessions generally.Something about my tutor is that he was always ready to listen and understand.It is rare to find a teacher who interacts easily with their students but i was soo lucky to have one in my Digital arts class.

Well that being said, i would like reflect on my work so far for the three months though i joined the session quite late.About the blog, this was the most fun part about it but at the same time this was soo challenging for me because i had to blog at least 3 post every week.The fact that i joined in week 5 i felt this was too much for me since i had to watch all the recordings for the sessions that i had missed for me to be in a better position to blog.However i did all the very best to catch up with the lessons.The comments feedback from the tutor and a blog buddy was very helpful for me as this helped me improve my blog by responding the feedback responsibly.The comments were also to inform me about my progress and i appropriate the good work from my blog buddy and my tutor too. After i was done with all my post i felt that i could may be improve the posts by adding more content and also more of research posts, but at the same time i believe i have done my best for this term.

About my Major Project, honestly i would like to have more time to complete it the fact it was too late for me starting the project having many recordings to watch and being a slow learner.However i guess that was a good challenge for me.I have learnt that its always good to always manage my time.I really need to balance my study time, sleep time and personal time and am looking forward to improve.Despite all this i have really learnt a lot of things during the class like using different softwares and references of which will be very useful in my continuation route.Also am looking forward to learn more about digital arts in next term and learn more skills.It was fun.

In conclusion, i would like to say that was a nice session for me. I learnt a lot not only in class wise but also general skills in life.I am happy to have made knew friends in a new, different environment for me.I am looking forward to next term and the rest of my journey in the campus.

Thank you in advance,

Mary.

    Well done for adding some final reflection here. You have made a good effort to catch up with the work this term and your work is up to a reasonable standard. I really would like to see more technical process and commentary on your blog as this is lacking so, please try to work on this before the deadline. Also, further research is needed for your major project to show you have developed a good understanding of photographic techniques and processes.

For our self study this week we were asked to research designers, filmmakers, photographers or writers who are using sketchbooks or journals in our subject area. Since my subject area is on photography I am going to do a research on photographers, look at their work and analyse their working process and also discuss what I have learnt from this research. Below are example of photographers i have been looking at their work; 1.Eric Kim Source;   Eric Kim image Eric Kim is a street photographer currently based in Los Angeles. He was born in 1988 in United State. In his article he explains that his interest in street photography happened by chance.The story is quite interesting and inspiring.He says that he was standing at the bus stop but does he does say where he was heading probably he was travelling then he spotted a man with horn-shaped glasses reading a book. He says that he felt a unique moment at that time which lead him to take out his camera. At the time he put the camera to ...

I started by researching  Andrew Prokos' white and black photography. His Ultra-high-definition black and white photos are known for their sharpness and clarity. In his photography work, Andrew Prokos focuses on design to capture the wonders of the urban atmosphere and its typically underappreciated intricacies. In his cityscapes, Prokos’s pictures lengthen the sense of marvel associated with degreed detail in an urban skyline. In his subject area pictures, that he's best famous, he captures the customarily unnoticed aspects of contemporary and style of architecture. Prokos uses each medium- and large-format camera, typically using long exposures to capture wealthy details and imbue a way of motion. His work feels modern. He follows an extended lineage of photographers who launched to capture urban landscapes and design, together with Berenice Abbott and Weston. Although his photography work focuses on urban settings, Prokos remembers the methodology of the good nature creative...
