I've always liked drawing and have been practising digital painting for a while. I would really like to improve on my art skills and so I decided to do my PP on digital painting as a challenge for myself.
Through this project, my aim is to learn and improve on my skills of drawing/digital painting. Therefore, I chose the Area of Interaction on Approaches to Learning, which is related to:
- How do I learn best?
- How do I know?
- How do I communicate my understanding?
Through approaches to learning, students are provided with the tools to enable them to take responsibility for their own learning. Central to this is "learning how to learn" and developing in individuals an awareness of how they learn best, of thought processes and of learning strategies.Approaches to learning also include:
- organizational skills and attitudes towards work
- collaborative skills
- communication
- information literacy
- reflection
- problem-solving and thinking skills
- subject-specific and interdisciplinary conceptual understanding.
Recognizing and helping students develop the range of their capacities, positive attitudes and effective habits of mind is the shared responsibility of teachers, and is at the core of all curriculum development and delivery.

By choosing this AOI, I have to focus on exploring how I learn best, communicate my understanding, and always evaluate myself.
To do this, I will be organized and make an action plan for my learning and keep a record of everything I learned.
