Blog one post discussing your reaction to Project 3. What do you think of this assignment? Secondly, what is Shipka’s idea about a composition “made whole?” What does she mean by that? How do you think this assignment draws from Shipka’s theory of rhetoric and composition?

Hearing the details of project 3 has got me very excited. I appreciate, so much, the creativity we are allowed to have with all of our assignment, but this one in particular. This project gives me a chance to express myself and make a piece of artwork that I created myself, from start to finish. I am very excited to start this project. I have a boatload of ideas on what I am going to do to express who I am. Sometimes, in this world, we forget who we are because of all of the outstanding pressures applied in our everyday lives. For me, it is hard to express my creativity with constant bursts of mass homework and tests and quizzes. These online classes have really been stressing me out and I truly feel like this project is a perfect way to calm my senses and work on a fun and creative piece of art. Shipka’s idea about a composition “made whole” is the idea that it is important to see, and so to understand, the final product in relation to the complex and highly rigorous decision-making processes the student employed while producing artwork. This project directly relates to Shipka’s theory, because we are digging deep inside who we really are and this will teach us a great deal of our person.
