The content area goal I have grown in was design. I think I grew in this area the most because of the way I adapted to designing the performance for this dance. Since there was so many parts to our dance we had to make sure it flowed. Also that we were able to take on every move we did, this meant if two people are doing something at the same time it’s insync. That was a big deal to me, I think that really makes it look like we out a lot of effort. This project was very based on our own creation and the way we took in the stories, and how we wanted that to be shown. Refinement is one step that I think I grew the most coming into designing. As a group we needed to make sure our project was understandable and still entertaining. By overcoming these difficulties and having a final product that we did I think I definitely exceed the criteria. The VSXu is another good example on how our performance really tied together, we made sure that during the orange spray of balls we had the scene of us in the garden. Our confusion part of the performance also had a great visual to back it up. The visual was very all over the place which, is reflecting my mind. I thought it was a great touch.
The cross disciplinary goal I have grown in is collaboration by far. I think I have learned so much about collaboration by working in this project. We were first placed off in groups that already had interest in working on that topic or story, which is genus. I felt like everyone was interested in working, it was a great feeling to have such a great connection We already had a small connection which we just built of off with in my group. This really was helpful in crunch time, when practicing was necessary and due dates stacked up my group held it together. We leaned on each other's expertise. Examples of this was Oscar really helping out when our pure data patches were due. He understood the concepts by listening in on lesson with Gabe and Erik. Also when on visuals were due Michael stepped up and finished the last two. He understood the topic the best at the time. I think I exceed in this disciplinary goal, if we refer back to my examples my group really used teamwork. I know it sounds cheesy but in the end this is what helped us finish our project and in the end up being very proud of something.
A personal goal that I have identified that I think I gained in this class was creativity. I know that doesn’t sound like much. You always think you have creativity until you really are pushed on it and it started to show in different ways. This project could have gone any way we wanted. My group came up with some many good ideas and really pushed myself to start thinking out of the box also. I'm so proud of my group we really fed off of each other's ideas. I never knew how much they were pushing my thinking with little decisions that we faced each day we worked together. We have so many movements in the performance that was a meaning for something else. It was really creative and fun to watch and perform. My group really pushed me what we wanted the viewers to take away from after watching our performance. This is where I grew. I never really thought about the viewer so much in a project. This project was all visual meaning soundscapes, digital visuals, and dancing you had to be creative to make all these different ideas come together and not only make sense and be pleasing but also entertaining. That’s why exceeded this project and grew in being creative. We had to push the box and come with dance moves that i would never think of doing in front of my class and nevertheless a group of adults. I never doubted out performance once we started to shape it and go back to refine we really had a soiled piece.
My most significant learning that I will take away from this semester is that you can honestly learn anything. I know many people say that but I would never think that I would be comfortable with computer programming.
Then at the end of the semester I am confident in not only one but two. That is such a great accomplishment for me and ill take away from that. Some struggles that I faced is the same thing I am so happy for accomplishing. Programming really scared me. I also miss school often so I thought I would never make up for the days I was gone. But I overcame that fear and got into contact with a few friends in class that got me caught up. This later helped in me fully understanding content. I think this is something that I continue you to struggle with is making sure I get caught up with work when I am not there. Based on the growth and the grade criteria I deserve an A. I may have not been pushing myself everyday but, I really shaped my groups outcome in our project. This is why I really shaped and refined our worked I really got into this project because of the story and how it connected to me. This pushed me into creating the best possible outcome for the performance. I am proud of the product my group had to show and that’s the best take away. I'm proud of the work because of the time and effort, this project is something I can always look back and reflect too.
