Making learning visible

sometimes it be that way

I’ve been trying to jump on spare moments I have to keep building this site. I just looked at some of the work I did last week in a rush, and saw: an upside down photo;–>
a mismatched link format (I like the embedded one better I think)… and then glancing back at some of my older posts and cringing at either the content or production value.

I contemplated taking down the first few entries, but then decided it could be valuable to show the messiness of the creation process.
I visited a museum once that had a room full of pages with hundreds of iterations of the same drawing, and it was so validating to recognize that the masterpieces hung on the walls of the other museums were the culmination of a lot of mistakes and practice runs.

So I’ll eventually clean up the graphics and text as I learn the technical side, but my older, less experienced work is going to stay. Because I think it’s actually great that I look back at things I’ve written and cringe; it means I’m growing.
