Blog #5 - why are you doing this?

It is extremely hard to answer this question because of the fact that it is very vague and could refer to multiple things.

The first thing that it could refer to would be why are you taking the class. I would have to admit that this class would be one of the last ones I would have chosen myself to take. But because I have to have three upper level classes and did not have many options of what I could take I ended up in here. I feel as though amlot of the time I am frusterated because the classes in media arts I have ended up taking have not been ones that pertain to what I want to do at all. So the summary of this is that the reason I am taking the class is because I really had no other option.

The second thing that it could refer to would be why are you doing these projects. I think that the assignments help to learn the basics of what animation deals with. It is hard though because the assignments do not really tell you what you have to do. An example would be the last assignment, number four, in which we were told to create a 3d ball. It never said that the ball could not look 3d and bounce but it seems as though thats what was assumed of us to do. I wish that their was more instruction in the assinments because it is really frustrating to have to spend a lot of time on an assignment and turn it in and then be told that everything is wrong.

So because this question was not detailed enough I really do not understand what you wanted us to answer about. So i answered all I could think of. I do not know if you meant it to be the way it was presented or not but it is alot like the assignment questions. And need to be a little more detailed in order to answer or do an assignment.
