ePortfolio Midterm Reflection An experience that made me feel most successful this semester was visiting the Frank Gehry exhibition in preparation for my in-class midterm essay. The essay topic was on informing a friend on reasons to visit the Gehry exhibition, a museum that showcases various sketches and models made by Frank Gehry, a Canadian-American architect known for postmodern designs. Before writing the essay, the entire class was given the opportunity to visit the exhibition to get an idea on what to write about. I decided to seize this chance because I heard that learning outside the classroom is an effective strategy to obtain knowledge. I have learned things that I could not have learned inside the classroom. The striking yet enthralling masterpieces that were all displayed in a refined environment fascinated me. The Gehry exhibition featured over 200 exclusive drawings and 65 models that have established Frank Gehry as one of the world’s notable architects. I was amazed on how much I learned simply by visiting the museum, such as Gehry’s defining deconstructivism that involved ideas of manipulation of a structure’s surface and curvy shapes. I felt extremely prepared to take the midterm after being inspired by Gehry’s original designs and gaining a distinct perspective on how Gehry came to success. After applying what I have seen and learned, I ended up getting an A on the paper. I am proud to call this my most successful experience, especially since it was outside a classroom environment.
