ACTION PLAN! and some stuff I think I’m good at (6)
Part 1
Visual Studies I
My greatest strengths are definitely my proficiency in Adobe programs (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc)
For greater success, I need to do a lot more of everything. (see below)
Photography I
My greatest strength is my ability to choose pictures that have a similar style and theme.
For greater success, I need to spend more time in the printing phase and not rush through the process.

My computer skills include a lot of basic functions (using browsers, changing settings on my machine to how I like, keeping my computer from crashing), as well as various programs (Most of the Adobe Creative Suite, all of the Microsoft Office programs, independent drawing programs, torrent clients, etc.).
I am also fairly versed in HTML and CSS, but need to brush up on them and practice some more in my free time.
My greatest strengths as a researcher/writer include: I have actually had a lot of experience with writing and researching in high school, and whether or not I graduated hinged on whether I could write a 8 to 10 page, independent research thesis on the topic of our choice. If I remember correctly, I got an A- and was very happy with the outcome of my paper. I am definitely confident in my writing ability and have had a lot of practice with writing throughout high school. However, I definitely need to work on the actual act of writing. Time ends up running away from me, and despite working better under pressure, should probably stop procrastinating so badly.
I learn best & accomplish most when I am in a very specific type of mood, whether that be a creative one or a “let’s do every assignment 5 days early” mood. These times are rare, and definitely hurt me when I have a lot on my plate and am not feeling particularly creative but productive when I have an art assignment due.
Ways I Can Improve In Visual Studies
- Talk to my professors when I don’t understand something.
- Actually do my homework.
- Participate more in class.
- Pay more attention to what is going on in class.
- Take
goodbetter notes.
Part 2
This is a picture of one of my 3D collages for Visual Studies. We were required to do 3 2D collages, and 2 3D collages. I have never done collaging before, especially not in the 3rd dimension. When I was being critiqued, my professors said they liked my idea with the increase of heights with these pieces, but felt it was limited to the page because I had to make it 3D. I agree, and feel that this could be improved by being presented in a different way than pasted on paper.
