1) My favorite assignment was the one about our state of mind. I had plan going in and it ended in a different way than I had set out for. I realized that I needed to go with the flow and see where it would take me. Choosing to do that I was able to capture images that I felt showed exactly the mindset I was in during that week.
2) All of our assignments made me see that social media Andy our own documentation is important, but maybe now not as much as a way to appeal to others. Sites like Instagram, Twitter, and even Tumblr can make you feel as if you need to put out content that meets a certain criteria. Our assignments made me think past the surface value of images. Now I can attempt to think about what I post and if it will gather enough likes, or even to not post at all.
3) I didn’t have much expectations other than to get out of my comfort zone. I did still assume that we would be given typical assignments and that it would be effortless. I like that there was this little push to think outside the box. Being more of a hands on person it was great to have a combination of taking photos, but also having reading and other artists to influence you. What I would change is having more interaction with other classmates. It could be used as another source to bounce ideas off of or just to reflect on assignments.
