Progress Report

For my research website so far I have done a very small amount of work. First off, I have had my website created since last semester. I have to edit and organize it. As far as the work goes, I have not done much either. So far I have reviewed some resources and have yet to annotate them. I have about 13 resources and am still in the process of rigorously looking them over. I have found many useful resources in the library at the main campus and also some great legitimate sources online. The more credible sources that I have found online are funded websites, whether through private organizations or charities. Many of the sources I have gathered include museums or actual artists websites which were created in memory of the deceased artists, some of the artists are still living though. The websites which I have looked over so far have gave me some useful information as well as leading me to other information which I was unaware of. I am thinking that I will have revised through all of my original websites mid week and will have begun typing some of my thoughts which I gathered from the process. Annotation of the sources should be an easy thing to do, what I am concerned about is the time. This assignment is very time consuming and having five other classes is not helping. After doing three essays and having more time to review websites I feel drained and want to not do this assignment, but what keeps me going is the topic I have chosen. Choosing art as my topic really has given me the drive to continue in my process of completing the assignment because it is something that I relate to and am interested in. So far I have learned some crazy stuff about the effects which art has on people and their perceptions. Very interesting so far and hope that I can stay on focus.
