Welcome to Art Reflections 2013 Cohort

Sita Ram to all students especially the 2013 cohort of Form One students of Vishnu Boys Hindu College. I hope that this year the the years that follow will bring about a great learning experience for you....remember though, the Learning Experience can be all yours only if you make it work for you. You have to take the information and skills provided and allow it to be part of your life. This blog is one part of this opportunity. You have to make use of it and use it to your learning advantage. I am looking forward to reading your comments and questions. To all the other existing blog followers, I welcome you as well and hope you have a wonderful term this year in continuing to learn from this blog!

Form Three Students ONLY !!

Research may seem boring, or hard work.... But, it is a fact of life. We do research every day and you may not realize it.... You want to get the latest shoes...YOU RESEARCH the latest styles.... you wish to find out about the activities for the upcoming Family Day and Bazaar...you research the activites on the Events page in Facebook... You want to find out why this girl likes you.....you ask questions(interview, a form of Research)...and so on and so on. As you get older, as you attend new learning institutions, you will see how important it is to conduct Researches and put together the information you have gathered into your own words.... that is- not plagiarize. The research would be a bit more structured and of course, in depth.

When you reflect on your experiences, you are of course researching within. There is a wealth of information within you that you have not fully analysed....by reflecting on them, you will be organising your thoughts, putting deeper meaning to your experiences and you will become more aware of yourself and your abilities.

With reference to your recent Research project using the Interview technique on na artist in your community, please share your experiences on your RESEARCH. How did you feel about it? What were your major problems? What made it enjoyable and rewarding for you?
