https://youtu.be/pi61dqkevAc The video above highlights the general context of the Network Learning Project. Within the video, the goals were identified and reviewed for completion or success. The sources of learning were also described as well as some examples of my work and how they related to the goals. Learning this way allowed for self-exploration and self-paced development. As our goals were individual, we could proceed and progress however we wanted. The any-time any-where approach to learning certainly has its advantages. In my context, the gathering of new knowledge was done through online tools and resources, and the sharing was done through the blog, though so extensively and limited to one only a few people. What was lacking for me was the third step…the community of learners’ piece. In an online scenario, this is a challenge to create. In an in-person experience, learning new knowledge, sharing it and havin...
I felt that a great way to see progress was to re-examine my baseline painting and go back and retry. Since the beginning of this assignment, and my exploration of watercolours, I have learned many things, which I applied to the painting on the right, I began with a wet-on-wet technique blending colours for the sky and the sunset. I realized during this process, that the best way to use wet on wet is to work in segments. As such, I didn't wet the bottom of the page until after the top was done. The layering then began. However, you can't do too much without waiting for the paint to dry, If you try to add more layers on wet, the colours will just blend. This may be a lovely effect but not necessarily what goal is. Between each layer of green, of trees and of grass, I had to wait for the previous layer to dry. Thus I was using the wet-on-dry technique which allows for more vibrant colours....
