My biggest fears were the workload of this quarter, the critique and the creative expectations of the course.

I think it's safe to say that I overcame all these fears. My workload has been a lot stressful during finals and midterm time, but since this was the class that I liked the best, and I really didn't like my other ones, I gave my most to this class and I enjoyed doing so.

The critiques weren't that bad. I thought that people were going to be brutal but even when we were evaluating something that was obviously not done with much effort or time, the critique was gentle suggestions to develop ideas. I think that the ideas behind all the work were good and original and personal for the most part and that made it inappropriate to tear people apart, they definitely wouldn't deserve it.

I feel like the intimidation of the creative process of the project proposals was quickly one of my favorite challenges rather than a real struggle. I really like this sort of live art aspect of the class and I feel like I rose to meet the challenge and the out of my box thinking that the class required. I truly enjoyed, and learned from this class and feel like I want to further my work in this area.
