Melanie's Making Process

Through this course we have all gained insight regarding our making processes. Thanks to this class, we continue on our college journeys, with a better understanding of our individuality and how to express ourselves.  I’ve learned a lot about myself throughout the semester. I not only discovered how to better articulate myself through my writing but also how to effectively “make” things. I can honestly say that the skills that I have gained through this course will no doubt help me in my future endeavors, and I’m sure many of my classmates would agree with that statement, as well. 
In regards to my making process, I have discovered that curiosity is so important and that it kick starts the creative process. I also have found that I need a solid outline/plan prior to creating or making anything. Otherwise, I end up with a final product that I’m not proud of. I need organization to efficiently create something, whether that be in regards to my academic projects or my art projects. I’ve also accepted the fact that making mistakes is inevitable and that mistakes will give me knowledge and wisdom, in the end. I have also established that it’s essential that I share my creativity, because what’s the point in creating anything if it’s not shared? 
Ultimately, I would encourage my classmates to continue to be creative and to contribute their perspectives to the world, because we all have something to say, and what we have to say matters.


Here is what I left our class with. My TOMS may not be perfect, but I’m beyond proud of them, because they represent who I am as a person :)
