Weekly Reflection

 Weekly Reflection 

Our second week of senior project has officially ended, and I can say that it’s been a blast. In the beginning, Lily and I had to refine our project a bit, and now that we have a concrete idea our project is flowing perfectly. Coming out of this week I can say that I learned that it will take a bit more effort to make a book. In my opinion, oil painting is relatively easy, however, when it comes to watercoloring it’s a totally different story. So, I’m learning a lot about patience and different art mediums. However, I have been blessed with a good partner and we always get our work done. I'm incredibly thankful for that. I have really enjoyed the excursions that Lily and I have been planning. Every day has been worthwhile, whether it’s going on hikes, walking the dogs, enjoying the rainy weather, surfing it up, fishing, or our art days. Most of the days have been really spontaneous as well. Sometimes we'll have something planned out, but by word of mouth we'll hear about another idea and end up doing that instead. I can definitely say not every day has gone as planned. The weather did us dirty a few times and even our lack of motivation has changed our plans. We had to move around our fishing day multiple times in order to void nasty weather. Sometimes we felt pretty exhausted and debated skipping our “art days” however we got through it. I can definitely see more benefits coming out of this week than last week. First of all, we really started our art project so we’ll have something for the Express Fest which is fantastic. Enjoying surrounding nature has also benefited us in different ways, not just because it inspires our book but it also helps with mental health so that's absolutely bomb. Since we have had to change our senior project our goals have also altered which is totally fine with Lily and me. Our week, similar to lasts will all help us with the completion of our project because our excursions are all mentioned in our little novel.
