Travel

Today is busy and full of travel, so if I don't get the opportunity to use a computer later, this will have to do.

Things I learned:
  • The critiques in the class are some of the most productive and constructive critiques I have ever experienced. I felt that the information I was given concerning my piece was extremely beneficial to my development, and it immediately impacted my ideas and ways of thinking about my upcoming projects. The critique also encouraged me to contribute more to others.
  • After just a few minutes of working on my abstract sound project, Audacity crashed and I lost some work that I really felt good about. While the work was a loss, it is nothing I can't recreate better now that I have gone through my first critique. The benefit of this experience is learning to save often.
  • Something I am excited to do more of is the group activities that I have heard much about. Creating sounds in our jam session was interesting and engaging. I can tell that the class as a whole has an opportunity to learn a lot about art's relationship to time through similar activities.

glad the crit was productive both in terms of giving and receiving. part of that big question/objective of making a good work environment. you will want to read the articles even though you were absent. they are on the blog.
