mind map of my past, present and future



This is my mind map. As a class we were asked to create a mind map of our past, present and future. This was really helpful as it allowed me to think about where I have came from and where I would like my future to go.

 
As a class we were asked to pin up our mind maps and discuss about what each of us found out about ourselves. It was clear at this point that everyone in the class were beginning to talk about the same things, so after this we began to make a "network" to connect all the things that everyone has in common.  We found out that everyone had a lot more in common than we thought and that many of us were looking at the same future goals. 

 
This was a really helpful exercise as it allowed me to see that there are many different possible futures as allot of us see a future in teaching.  Some people are thinking about becoming part-time artists or even travelling.   

 
There were allot of people within the class who were travelling down the contemporary art practice and applied practice pathway, but there were only three of us who were going down the visual communication pathway. This was interesting as each of us in the visual communication block are doing completely different thing. 

 
Another thing that I noticed is that most people are not concentrating on the one pathway and that they are experimenting and developing with other skills. I found this really helpful to know as I now know that people are in the same position as me and by communicating to each other we should be able to help each other.
