Journal Entry 5

In class today, we began to learn how to use flash. I wanted to learn flash to use it for one or more of my digital art piece assessments, as I know there is a lot that can be done with the program. However, I know it is also quite complicated, and was sure that I had to either find some online tutorials to learn how to use the program or listen in class. Playing around with the program, I found myself getting really confused and behind, not knowing how to really do anything right or get the same result as everyone else. I'm not sure whether I'm still keen to use flash for my assessments, because it seems very complicated and I am having a lot of trouble understanding the basics of the program. I think that I will go home and watch some online tutorials, or perhaps come into class so I can use the program and have another attempt at learning the program, but I am glad there are other options to produce our assessment other than using flash.
