The challenging aspect of this unit was trying to figure out what to write about. It is an unusual assignment, because normally we're used to research projects, and with they it was more about analysis. But it was hard to figure out how to analyze one painting for that long. The project turned out okay though I guess, I pieced it all together to make it long enough.
It worked well to have written the Written description of the painting, because that really helped in analyzing it. Practically disecting the visuals of the art helped in really getting the full picture. You were searching into the objects, style, and meaning of what was painted, so I started to get an idea about what to be analyzing.
The blogs didn't work so well for me for the research project. I know you wanted to be able to track our progess in the project, see where we were at, answer questions etc. But sometimes I'd have to cut my research short for the day because I'd have to leave the time to write my blog entry. It was like I was wasting a little time each day talking about how my research had been going, rather than getting farther in the research.
I think this project was good for learning how to analyze, and create a powerpoint on that, rather than just research research. That did make it harder on knowing what to write/say about though.. I felt a little in the dark but we gotta learn it sometime right?
