INSTRUCTIONS

Exercise.

REFLECTION:

Experience:I had a headache because the first special exercise required us to choose supplies and buy magazines. I chose two books at random because I didn't know what to use. Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time choosing materials because the books I chose had quality content.

The digital collages in weeks two and three are actually pretty simple, you just need to know how to key and use your imagination. I also learnt another keying technique which is obviously the first step in learning how to teach. Week 4 also included keying, but the new part was shading. I made one using the teacher's method and one using my own. The fifth week's exercises were very easy for me because the techniques I taught myself in week three came in handy!

Observations：Starting is hard, but once you get going, it is so easy! I thought the PS skills and material selection would be really tough, but it is only their own practice that will tell me, "Okay, not bad, not to the extent that I can make me feel sad." Our teacher is also very patient and constantly encourages us!

Findings ：We had a total of five weeks of practice, from physical to digital, each step has deepened my understanding and knowledge of the subject of DPI, starting from the very beginning of the search for materials, we were able to get it done step by step with the help of the teacher, and from a beginner to become proficient in the use of some of the PS skills, which makes me full of a sense of achievement!
