Hi all,
It is so good to be back after a break where I could enjoy myself, go back to my country, enjoy with family and friends and enjoy the beautiful and simple things in life. Also was a time to look back what I did in the first time and reflect about the different works I have done throughout the term. I am very proud of my achievements, however, I know I have much more work to do to become the artist that I want to be. I am so excited to be back and to be able to explore and learn new things, always having in mind what I have learned in the first term. I am feeling more confident about myself as an artist and what I want for my next projects to express the good moment I am going through now.
Holidays it means a break and also enjoy myself, family and friends but something that I could see differently was my city and how beautiful it is. Colourful, dynamic, historical, cosmopolitan, diverse and many other adjectives that could use to describe. After a year and half was good to be back.
Lisbon Downtown, December 2021, Edgar R.
The picture above I took it last December when I was having a walk in Lisbon. The most beautiful city in the world. The historical buildings, the energy, the colours, the different architecture, the people, the weather, the food. I could write infinite posts about how amazing my city is. However, behind a beautiful and colourful picture something sad is behind it. This use to be a very busy street, known as Pink Street, where you could catch up with friends to have some food, drinks or just a walk around. Unfortunately, this street it is about to disappear due to the construction of a hotel just on the left of the street. It is sad because many people in the past could meet up there, a very busy street, full of music, bars and restaurants and unfortunately it will loose some identity because of a new business coming.
I believe that everything in life comes to an end at some point and we need to re-invent ourselves and things, and this street is part of that. The same thing for me as a person and artist. Probably, I will need to give up in some things to allow other things to come. It a process where we need to be aware of things changing in us and around us.
This term I want to be be better, I want to experiment more, learn from different artist and this includes more research. I want to share and learn from course mates. I want exchange knowledge to be able to step into another level of my journey. I will apply some of the techniques that I could learn in the module of Study Skills that will help to organise my time in accordance to what I want to achieve. Time management it will be my best ally for this term. I do not want to procrastinate, instead I want to create.
Looking forward to share with you my next steps in the amazing journey at DMUIC!
Good first post, with plenty of positive intentions for the term and project. Would like to see a bit more about the kind of work you looked at over the break, but otherwise a decent start.
