Portraiture Technology Attitudes in Technology

The Portraiture Technology unit was very interesting. I really enjoyed when I was working on my portrait; however, I sometimes get annoyed at the slow progress of creating a portrait. Nevertheless I tried my best to have positive mind. Whenever I struggled with materials or methods to make my portrait, I always thought of the final results. I thought that if I endure this hard time, then my portrait would look much better than now. If I was being negative during the process, I would have probably got bad results and I would not be able to enjoy this unit.

Creating a portrait motivated me to think about myself such as my characteristic or my personal favorites. To be honest, I did not care about who I am in my past times, and I was not very interested in thinking about myself. However, this project helped me to figure out my true nature of myself and I really liked and enjoyed the process of learning about myself. Sometimes I thought that why I should share my personal thoughts with others because portrait could show some of my personalities that I did not want to share. On the other hand, I came up with an idea that if I share my thoughts with others, they may give some suggestions that can give benefits to form a better characteristic of myself.

Since this project has to be done individually, I think it is related to independence a lot. For example, if I had any problems, I was supposed to solve them by my own. I would be the only one who would know best of me; therefore, it would be less effective if I just ask others and get help from them.

During the process of making a portrait, I needed to take care of safety. I always make my water bottle closed whenever I entered to IT classroom which could give damages to computers if I spill water on computer. When people asked me for sharing some materials or asked me for a help, I accepted most of those requests. I listened and respected other people’s opinions most of the times as well. Therefore, I think I have fairly good attitudes toward safety, cooperation and respect for others.
