Reflective statement for blog

This below  is my statement what I felt in this unit and what I have hearn and could implove for next step.

As this is my first term of textile, I learned so many things in this unit. The most important thing I have learnt in rough guide project is how to develop my ideas visually. I was slightly confused how I develop my ideas visually at the beginning of the project. Because I was in theatre class in foundation, I always started research from text or narratives. However, in textile, we often start research from visual images. I took a little time to understand this. Now, I understand and enjoy very much with visual research, even feel confidence to start research from visual objects. In my final work of rough guide project, I mixed visual images and storytelling research about the town, Mayfair. I think it was good excise to mix my foundation experiments which are strongly connected with concept based research and the research way which I have learned in this unit, visual research.
 I always try to keep my blog up to date. I think, I have done it well, although there are still some parts to be improved. Because, I did not say my opinions so much in the blog. I think posting my daily artist journals is completely good exercise for many aspects of my study, for example recording my works, what I have done in college, and visit to museums. What I have learnt from posting blog most is that I have to have a responsibility what I write in. Blog is slightly different from paper journals, because everyone can see and read my articles from all over the world. At the beginning, I felt hesitant about posting topics on my blog, but later I noticed that this understanding is essential to me as a learner.
