Reflection

• I enjoyed the trip a lot more than I thought I would!

• I originally had hang-ups that this was going to be all about observational drawing, which I really struggle with now that I cannot see much at all 

• I was pleasantly surprised to learn more of experiential art and responding in my own way - through textures and imprints, collecting objects that I will use to collage with, recording sound, creative writing exercises 

• Using Tami as much as possible was great for me, and rather experimental, as she is very much part of my experience. Her body collected a lot of muddy water and made for some fantastic impressions of her paws and her fur! I also took a video of her guiding me through the sculpture park, recorded her whinging noises and took photographs of her against tapestries. I would like to incorporate her into my work, perhaps as one of my risk prints, to document her experience.

• Being outside and amongst nature, rather than inside and in the studio, was really advantageous and beneficial to my mental health. Being in the crisp air and the Autumn sun gave such positive outcomes to my work
• I really enjoyed the creative writing tasks and want to use my responses somehow in my final rise outcomes
