I really enjoyed this course. I have taken a lot of Domestika courses, but this is the first one I finished and presented my project. Thank you very much Stefanie for your clarity and motivation to do this.
I decided to do it about some data I have been collecting about myself since 2009: My New Year´s Resolutions. I write them down every December 31 and check them out during the year. At the end of each year, I know which ones I accomplished and which ones I did not.
This project made me realize I have accomplished most of the things I have put my mind to. It also showed me that most of my goals in those years (my final high school years and all of my university) were focused on my education. I also noticed that my family relationships improved because in the last few years the color yellow is not as present as at the beginning. Also, the color red tends to disappear in the final years. I remember that, at that time, I conscientiously wanted to stop including my love life in my resolutions. Finally, as I mature, health began to be more important to me. The color blue is more present in the final years.

Teacher PlusLooks like you have a pretty good track record of making your resolutions happen, impressive! I also like how you could even turn this drawing into a 3d sculpture and actually adapt it to work with actual Christmas lights :)

Laura, Your project impressed me much in the way it captured your core insights. And doing so in a very beautiful way. Moreover as I am often searching quite long for satisfying metaphors I have to say this one is so great!
