Culminating Blog Reflection
My Senior project days are coming to a close as everything is starting to wrap up, this experience certainly as fun and stressful one, well most of the stress was in the paper, and preparing a presentation. The most enjoyable part of senior project, as it involved stepping outside of my comfort zone and finding someone to teach me a skill. This project brought out the best and worse in me as it required you to stay on top of your work, and doing that can be very stressful, both components of this project required certain attention to detail for example in the writing portion you had to focus on format and grammar, in the mentoring part you had to be able to learn a completely new skill which for in my case was drawing
During this project i gained a new array of skills drawing being one of them of course, drawing but i also learned how to be better prepared for tasks, and learning to not rush things and to pay attention to detail, which was repeated over and over by my mentor during my time spent with him.
The time spent with my mentor was a valuable experience as i got to see a deeper opinion in drawing as you kind of start to care about what you have drawn like its a part of you, its quite amazing being able to bring to life something that you thought up in your head, and putting it down on paper. There were some challenges faced when i was working with my mentor one being me being to eager to learn and rushing through things, and paying little attention to detail, but as time progressed i was able to correct my mistakes and make it perfect. Some other challenges were the paper part of interfering with parts of the mentor, another was sticking to our set schedule which didn't go too well.
Doing this project helped me alot and although it was a great learning experience i would not do it again mostly because it is very time consuming, like i stated before it does bring out the best and worst in you, and this it did because i was able to learn from my mistakes which is a great skill i could apply later on. This project also helped me change my perspective in my career choice, before this i was set on being an animator but now after this that has changed because from hearing my mentor it is hard to get a long term job. So i all this project has helped me realize a lot of things i did not know about myself and it is an experience i sure wont forget
