Free Response #1

Project #2 was a personal hell for me, like an outlined tour of suffering similar to Dante's own. It played on my insecurities about my own creativity, my hatred of my own works and how little I can do outside of standard mediums without eventually throwing out everything I made progress on well before it is completed. Needless to say, I never got it done. I went through at least 6 different reincarnations of the project throughout the assigned time and eventually, through my own perfectionism (or something similar) and lack of skill, they were all scrapped. I'm fairly confident that if I ever had gotten to the paper portion of the project, I would have been able to complete it easily, but with the medium I chose it would have been near impossible and out of context to even try without having that part of the project done. Project #3 seems much more like my own style and assignments in the past I enjoyed, but I can't help but worry about how having a missing assignment will affect my grade when I turn in my portfolio. Will not having done the project damage my grade twice, after already dropping me down a full letter grade? I imagine that it would, since I would not have a revision of it.
