Writing this essay was the most difficult work in this course. It forced me to face my weaknesses. I am not good at time managing, not good at writing in English (I'm in the English level 2 course at the moment, and I need to improve my writing skills, especially the academic ones), also I'm not good at all at managing my anxiety. And writing about my thoughts makes my anxiety level very high.
It was a difficult task, I needed to ask help in different ways. Firstly to Maria, who really helped me in a 1-to-1 session to understand how I can work better, considering my ADHD. She taught me some tips that really work for me. I used a program that she suggested, that helps me to split my work sessions in little parts (20 minutes per part, no more). She told me to work for 20 minutes, take a break, and repeat, because it's a good way to manage my attention difficulties.
It improved my work a lot. So, THANKS MARIA! Thanks a lot!
I also asked my husband to help me with my grammar and give me advice on how to not make the same mistakes again. (He is using this post to "try" to teach me how it all works with the transitive-intransitive thing... no way).
Despite all this I really enjoyed the research part of this essay and learning more about an artist. I think it really helps me to understand other ways of thinking. Sagmeister's works inspire me not just about which media and typography you can use in a project, but most of all, about ways of thinking and how to find the right idea.
After a month during which I didn't draw anything in my personal sketchbook (I was so depressed that it seemed to me that every idea I had, was disappointing), I am finally writing again all my ideas, even the ones that do not really convince me. Just to have them on the sketchbook, maybe one day I will read them again and find inspiration.
I decided that every Monday after the final crit, I will go to museum or do research about an author.
