My Type of Memorizing

I know, I keep saying over and over again, how I am in the school of design, and how everything that we have been doing has not been really applying to me, but it is so true. I don't really need to memorize much for the classes that I am taking. Your probably thinking that I am such a lucky duck and all that stuff, because all I have to do is think of some crazy idea and then boom done. But that is so wrong! I have stayed up many nights till very late, working on drawing, after painting, after sketch, trying to produce a design that the teacher will like. However, sitting here having to write this blog, I am realizing I do my own form of memorizing.

I use my sketches to produce a form of memorizing. It helps me jump start my ideas and discover what I want to use, in my final draft. And when I am sketching I am forming an idea, through many, and memorizing can be seen as an idea that is repeated in some way.

SO, this past week, I had to make several sketches for a project I am doing in my 2D class. I had to make 10 sketches from the dollar bill. I had to think of an overall abstract idea that was visually pleasing. I feel like in VPA, it automatically means you are some sort of kinesthetic learner, which I learned this semester. With sketching, it really helps the visual learners like myself. Sketching has been a form of learning for me this year, that has rally helped my memory flow. I have started to produce better projects, when I am able to draw multiple ideas and then choose from one.
