How Hardworking Students Should Rest: A Guide to Staying Productive and Balanced:🎀

As students, we often find ourselves buried under a mountain of assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities. While it’s important to work hard and stay dedicated, it’s equally important to give your mind and body the rest they deserve. In this blog post, we’ll explore why rest is crucial and how to balance work and relaxation effectively.

Why is Rest Important?

Rest isn’t just about sleeping or being lazy; it’s an essential part of maintaining mental and physical well-being. Continuous study sessions without breaks can lead to burnout, stress, and decreased productivity. Taking regular breaks helps to:

• Refresh your mind: Breaks improve focus and retention of information.

• Boost creativity: Rest allows your brain to form new ideas and solutions.

• Reduce stress: Taking time off helps in managing anxiety and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

How Often Should You Rest?

The key to effective studying is incorporating regular breaks into your schedule. Here’s a general guideline on how often to rest:

1.The Pomodoro Technique: Study for 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break. After four cycles, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes.

2.Hourly Breaks: If you prefer longer study sessions, try studying for 50 minutes and then taking a 10-minute break.

3.Daily Rest: Make sure you have time each day to unwind and do something you enjoy—whether it’s exercising, reading, or spending time with friends.

4.Weekly Rest: Dedicate at least one day a week where you limit your study time and focus on relaxing and recharging.

Thank you!

Junk Journaling: Finding ephemera to use

Since we just talked about how to make a junk journal last post, now let’s talk about what you will use to fill it up and make it pretty. Junk journaling is like going on a treasure hunt where every little piece you find can tell a story. You can use almost anything to create your journal. First off, you might want to start with the basics, like old book pages. These can be from old novels,…

Kurt Schwitters, Picture of Spatial Growth - Picture with two small dogs, 1920-39 (Oil paint, wood, paper, cardboard and china on board)

This is a type of mixed-media work known as 'Merz', a term Schwitters coined in 1919 to describe 'the combination for artistic purposes of all conceivable materials'. According to this principle, found objects contain the same aesthetic potential as tubes of paint. Schwitters started this assemblage of discarded rubbish and printed papers in Germany in 1920. Seventeen years later he brought it with him to Norway, having escaped from Nazi Germany. There he added Norwegian material: theatre tickets, recipts, newspaper cuttings, scraps of lace, and a box with two china dogs. The different layers of collage reflect the artist's journey into exile.

Focus on collage: combining everyday objects and materials became a new technique for twentieth-century artists.

More than a century ago, artists began to use cut-up newspapers and pieces of wallpaper in their compositions. This technique brought recognisable pieces of everyday life into artworks.

Artists such Man Ray and Joan Mirò expanded this technique into three dimensions. They were attracted by the potential of combining discarded objects to create new forms. Their work draws on the surrealist idea that unexpected combinations can have an unsettling power. This often relates to violence or sexuality but is sometimes humorous too.

Subsequent generations of artists have brought images and objects together in new ways. Some continue to use this approach to create moments of poetic surprise. For others, collage is a way to analyse the images in advertising and mass media that surround us.

Katrien de Blauwer   (BE, 1969)

"I’m a photographer without a camera"

Painted Scene 28 (2018)

She applies old and worn materials very sparingly for her exceptional pieces of art!

Using magazine images from the 1920s until the 60s, De Blauwer cuts, reframes, pastes them together with others, or with monochrome strips from those same magazines. A spontaneous process, kindred to the methods of surrealist painters [setting free the subconscious]
