To Conclude

To conclude this term of work, I learnt how to process sketches and the idea of sketching differently. This class resulted in me thinking of ideating by using more than just a pen or pencil with paper. I will probably not be able to use everything I learnt from this term in my academic work - at least not in the foreseeable future. However, I am certain that these new skills will be useful in my professional work, though perhaps not in the most obvious way. It is unlikely that I will be able to make use of an exercise like the Drawing Machine one, however I have learnt to go about sketching in non-conventional methods and I am sure I can apply this to at least some of my future projects. The same goes for the Sketchbooks exercise, however I am keen to incorporate the book-binding skills I learnt from that exercise in my final presentations (when, for my home university, I am likely to have to produce a booklet) just to make the project more personal and aesthetically interesting. Exercises like that the sketching exercises we have done in class and the hybrid sketch research we did by ourselves are already a part of my personal and academic work, as sketching is something I have always been pushed to practice, by my school and university, and by myself. Whilst the hybrid sketches is one of the ways in which I have been taught to develop and render projects. All-in-all, there are many new skills I have learnt from this term, I look forward to using and developing them in the future.
