Personal reflection

From the moment I read the description of the course I knew that I had to have it in my life, and I’m very happy that I have had the privilege to be a part of it to this point. One of my biggest fears is that I will be “labeled” or “subjected” to being good at one thing, but all of the topics and assignments really allow you to have your hands in a bit of everything; it will make me more dynamic when it comes to creating and in the a career setting.  I feel that I’m generally good at everything I do, so I didn’t try to tackle anything with the mindset of it being a challenge; I just tackle everything in front of me. Having a design background it has definitely benefited me, so coming into the class I never felt like I was struggling in that aspect. In taking the class it has only given me more of an edge since I’ve never worked with designing 3D objects before, and gives me a better appreciation for being an artist along with the responsibilities that go along with it. The beautiful thing about the class that I enjoy the most, is the fact that we get to interact and be these interesting creatures called human. One of the most important parts of designing is that human factor, without this we would be useless. It really touches me when I get to hear about how someone else lives, or how I can make an impact on someone else’s life. It’s our duty and responsibility to be conscious of our actions along with understanding the world, so we can help ourselves change the future and history altogether. So, when it comes to our group work, I keep this in mind whenever we are tackling a task by applying this philosophy to our social responsibility.
