Art is a way to express yourself, it's a way to have fun, it's literally whatever you want it to be. I love being able to sit and relax, creating digital art.
The best feeling after hours of working is looking at your masterpiece and realizing that you created that all by yourself. In the future when you look at it you'll notice your past self through the theme and style of your art. It's crazy how I feel like I can actually remember vividly my childhood where I created certain artworks. Your art can hold your memories. When I was in elementary I remember painting an exotic bird after taking one look at it from a magazine. It was quite beautiful, especially from a 2nd grader. Whenever I look at that painting I relive my life in that certain period of time. I honestly didn't realize all of this completely until I started typing this post. Artwork brings a lot out of me because it's a part of me. I lived to love it and love to live it.

When learning to code I feel like it was hard because it was hard for me to understand. I didn't realize why I used certain things until looking at examples and creating my own.
It may include extra work but it'll be worth it if you completely understand a concept. You may hate doing work you don't have to do. Realize that the problems you solve help you to grow stronger. I know it sounds weird but try to force yourself to like work, make sure you know all of the benefits you personally gain. I can't say this for many coding lessons in C#, but I remember two of them where I went all out to learn them for no reason. I created the whole script without looking at the answers at all, and whenever I had a problem I worked hard to solve it, learning through the process. I only did it for those two lessons because I had extra time, I should've pushed myself harder to do it to them all. I can remember those two skills so well right now because I took the extra time and answered it on my own. At first, you may dislike the initial efforts extra work requires, but after you learn something new, it's all worth it. Over the past weeks, I've been continuing learning how to code in C#. Just in case you don't know, C# is a programming language commonly used in Unity to develop games.
The tutorials I've been watching are really nice in how they take you through the code and explain it; however, I feel as if they do more work for us than helping the viewers to remember key parts. I've been taking lots of notes for each tutorial but the code is still so confusing. For example, I find it difficult to use while and do while loops. Not only do you have variables in it like i, but you also have numbers and other signs such as ++. The order to put it together is quite hard to remember off the top of my head. Although C# may be difficult for me, I still understand some parts of it. I'm good at making "if statements" without any help at all because it's really simple and I know where it is going. I wish that I would be able to learn the code with more of my free interest; however, it feels really forced due to certain due date requirements. If I had more time I would've gone through each tutorial practicing what I've learned a few times, getting creative with it, and then once I truly understand that concept I would move on to the next tutorial. It's a good reminder and practice of how we WILL get hard due dates, especially in this work field. Although it's important to understand how to code, remember that there is competition and speed may be key to victory. We have to use these opportunities to push us to work faster and more efficiently.
References In the past weeks, our class had continued working in C#. We are still watching tutorials, slowly learning more and more.
When coding with C# you'll start having to memorize certain components. Like string is used when working with text, and int is used when working with numbers. Another example is when to capitalize, put spaces, and don't forget to add a simple semicolon at the end of each line. All these little things added together is scripting. It's the little things that make coding seem easy, but it is quite challenging in the beginning if you don't pay attention. Many times our whole script doesn't work because the little things are forgotten. This is important to realize early so when taking a test on it, quizzing your knowledge on the subject matter, you must know every little detail or everything may not work according to plan. One way to help avoid this problem is to take notes and actually review them, they've helped me progress in the tutorials with a better understanding. There is an article online about common mistakes when coding with C#. Most of them were more advanced for me since I am not that far in the knowledge of programming in C#. However, a few had happened to me before. The first mistake I made in C# was not logging an overflow error. Another mistake was not using string correctly and using inefficient methods of coding. Although these problems had slowed me down, I used the opportunities to learn where I was wrong and to grow. It's important to know...
