Since the creation of my design, I have been setting more goals for myself in terms of what I am creating. At first, I was using my art space in a more unstructured manner. I only used the space when I felt compelled to. This was effective at first since I was more motivated. However, as the weeks passed, I observed myself getting less motivated to be productive in my free time. In order to combat this, I started to create a folder on my computer of photos and ideas that I can use as inspiration for future works I make. By actively looking for inspiration, I have observed that I have started to set more goals for myself and spend more time making art.
After our last Zoom meeting, I also began to think more about what the purpose of my art space design was. I thought that establishing a purpose could help me move forward with the design process. Although I thought it was implied, I never clarified that my design is essentially specific to me. Unlike some other designs my classmates made (schedule templates, etc.), when designing, I was not thinking about usage outside of my own. My design serves the purpose of creating a space where I can, and want to, be creative. And, as a way to utilize the space in my room more, making it a place where I want to spend time.
