Reflection

What I’ve done

I’ve attempted a few arts and craft projects and posted about my experiences with them. These posts include the steps I took throughout my project, pictures of each phase, and a reflection of my overall experience. I also wrote a post on the rise of crafting culture in general.

My best post and why it’s good

I think my post about “Fun with Foil and Glue” was my best because of how much I loved doing that project. I included nice-looking pictures and detailed instructions which made the project clear to my reader. I really enjoyed the project, and I think that showed in my writing.

What I’d like to improve on

I need to be post more often. I haven’t done many projects yet, which would probably cause me to lose a lot of followers if I was actually a serious blogger.

What I’ve learned about myself as a learner

I’ve learned that I struggle to put effort into an assignment when there is no incentive. I like crafts and I enjoyed the few I actually did, but I didn’t do as much as I could have. I learned that in order for me to really get into something, it has to be something I’m really passionate about.

Where I’d like to go

I actually think I want to change the topic of my blog. Trying different craft projects sounded like a good idea, but it takes a lot more time and money than I’m willing to give up. I think I want to change my topic to graphic design. I have a book full of design challenges and tutorials, so I think I’ll enjoy doing those each week. It will be free, less time consuming, and help me set up a nice portfolio for college.
