Criterion F

My attitude toward technology changed over time during the project. At first, I did not like it. I did not know what to do so I was confused and was just going with the flow. I kind of understood what people told me to do, so I did it, but I didn’t understand anything about the criterion and why we were doing this project so I had a hard time and didn’t like the project. Whenever we had to write a new criteria, I was not enthusiastic and motivated to do it at all. At the beginning I always asked my friends what we were supposed to do. After I had wrote a criteria I would ask my friend to read it and see if it was alright. But the art part, the creating part of this project, I liked. I was motivated and independent. I was like that because I understood what to do so I just did it. I asked Ms. Sudra for help sometimes though. For I.T before class I did not have a positive attitude when I came in. I did not want to write more things I did not understand.

However, towards the end, I started to understand everything about the criterion and stuff. I started having a positive attitude before class and was motivated to write. Even though I hate writing anything, I had to so I still had a more positive attitude.

For me stealing other people’s work is not an issue for me. I am totally against piracy. Pirating is not respectful, plus it is illegal. In class, I respected other people by letting them work without distracting them, helping them, and complimenting them.

Criterion E Evaluate: Presentation

I did my presentation to the class last week. I feel that I totally wrecked it. I was very nervous about standing in front of everyone and talking about what I feel and like. I actually have a fear of public speaking. I know I have to work on it to become successful, but today, I am scared of it. I was so nervous that I was laughing and smiling too much to hide it. When I asked people how I was, they did not say all good things and not all bad things. They said I wasn’t serious and saying things like “umm.” They also said I was cute, but that has nothing to do with learning how to speak in public. I am wondering: how am I going to become a big business person, but I can’t speak in public. I have to practice while I am young.

Another thing that was not good in my presentation was that I was the last person to present before the bell rang, and I had to do it fast. I did not get to explain everything about my art. It was because I had so many materials.

At last, this project has finally come to an end, and i have learnt a lot. I am happy that i have finished this project successfully. Even though I totally doomed the presentation, i feel i have done a good job.

Criterion E Evaluate

This project was overall a very good learning experience for me, to say honestly. I learnt a lot of things, from editing pictures to making a mixed media art. First of all I want to thank my teachers and classmates for helping me do this amazing project. I liked almost all the parts of doing it, now, it is coming to an end and I have to write an evaluation.

On the day we took pictures and edited them, I did not really know what we were doing or how to do it. I was not familiar with the criterions and things like that. During the process, I got familiar with the criterions and it became easier. I got things and was on a roll, I think. But in the process, I made some mistakes and errors. One error was that I did not know that that there had to be more than 4 edited pictures and I only had 2. So when I found out that I had to have done 4 I edited two more pictures. Another mistake I made was when I was doing the art work, I spilt a lot of glue on my art work. It was a lot of glue. It took me a long time to clean it up.

The hardest part of this project was writing on my blog wall. It took a long time. Sometimes I thought I wrote too little. The easiest part of this project was taking the pictures! I like taking pictures and it is not that hard.

If could do this whole project again, I would of course, know more about the criterions, and ask more questions from the teacher.

My test was very successful. I asked people to talk about what they think about my artwork and what each thing means. All the people made very good assumptions and they even said things I didn’t even think of, and they told me about what I felt, and I realized I did feel it. For example, the bars, my real purpose was to express that I feel imprisoned, but Binderya made a guess that the bars mean that I can’t express my self the way I want, and that is very true. All of the people made very good guesses.

This project relates to the real live world in many ways. One way is for doing this project, I learnt a lot about me. I learnt about my feelings, interests and more. Another way it relates to the real live world is the whole process. Doing this process in order is very important for when we grow up and have to do business or being a lawyer etc. The process is what we learn from. If we do things here and there, our work will not be successful. Projects like these are to prepare us for the real live world.
