Reflection :

In this module, I learned variety of design principles. These principles helped me to understand more on how to create a better work of design. I learned that in order to create one perfect design is not just by having ideas and drawing it out. We have to consider different types of principles before creating it. I also learned about the importance of the principles. Having to apply those principles in your artwork allows your work to be more presentable. I also realized that most of the famous artwork usually applies most of the design principles in order to be perfect. What I enjoyed the most is when we are working on Project 1 and Final Project. Self portrait project I find most interesting as it is to create an art of work about yourself. I find this is a very interesting yet fun project, I am able to include elements that I fancy and create a work of design. There is not limitations in this project, therefore I enjoy this project the most. Also, on Final Project which is visual analysis, initially I thought that this project would be boring as it is about researching on a work of design. In fact, it was pretty interesting because when I research on other artworks, I am able to deeply understand and enjoy the art of other artist. Most importantly, learned about something from other's people's work in order to improve my own artworks. What I did not enjoyed was when I'm running out of ideas. It took me a lot of time to find ideas, but as I go on with the classes I got used to it and it got me easier to get ideas. I learned that I should have my own style of design and that everyone is special in their own way. Thorough this semester, I found my own drawing style and explore more on myself. I've learned time management through my learning journey, since other subjects had huge work load, it is important to manage your time. The only thing that had not change is my commitment, I always try my best on my assignments and projects. My works may not be the best but I've put in all of my efforts. I have no recommendation on improvement in this module, I think it was fine throughout this module.
