Writing Studio

Reflection

This is a reflection paper about my writing studio class. When I first entered the class I admittedly thought the class would be useless. I of course am an artist and didn't think writing class would be needed. I was here to draw not write. As the class went through a few sessions the class started to growon me. I had enjoyed writing for fun on my own long before I had to take the writing class. I didn't like however being graded for my work. Who honestly likes to have their mistakes showed to them? After a few classes I reluctantly stated to make corrections to make my work better. The class environment was a welcoming and warm. The teacher was very helpful and caring and treated me as individual rather than another person like other teachers that I had in high school. The work was at times difficult, essays are never fun. The class was definitely helpful and I would recommend it to all first year students. Some assignments I thought were unnecessary such as this reflection, and the online portfolio. Other assignments that I could do without is the research paper in which I had to compare two artist. That paper was tedious, and stressful, the use of only scholarly resources was ridiculous because some of the topics that I had plan to write about did not have scholarly sources to research from. The class will eventually be beneficial to my writing skills, that I understand. The class was a writing environment, the teacher supported creativity and style. However the large amounts of required works were stressful and largely unneeded.
