1. The number of choices we have today. The video we watched where it was explained how many different types of jeans we have available today compared to 20 or 30 years ago really sort of opened my mind. We have WAY too many options these days on how to tackle things and how to DO things. There is no set standard anymore so it takes more time to do things. I really liked this observation and it sort of just made me aware of how expanding our world is and how 10 years from now there will be even MORE options on how to do things.
2. The Bead. Everyone will remember the first assignment. It was by far the most vague I think and most memorable. We're just given a single bead and told to do something with it and blog about it. Literally we could have done ANYTHING. I just thought it was an interesting way to start off a class.
3. I'll also remember the fun assignment. In no other class will your homework ever be to go out and have fun. It reminds me of Elementary school all over again. I didn't have to think for this one because I set aside an hour of fun for myself every day. It's completely necessary.
---
Things that are different from this class compared to any other is obviously the criteria on which assignments are ... assigned? There is no rubric or standard. You can approach everything ANY way you like and I LOVE that. This is how it will be in the field or rather how it SHOULD be in the field. You want your work to stand out from others so why only limit your self or "fishbowl" yourself to a set standard that everyone else will be doing? Life is limitless and so is your work.
I expect...
By the end of this class I expect to have opened my mind on how to approach things more abstractly when it comes to video, sound, etc. I expect to learn more about myself and my fears. I also expect to come to terms with who I am.
