CC Self Assessment – Independent Studies 12

I generate new ideas as I pursue my interests

  • In this class, I ended up doing two animations. My first one was one of my first ideas of what I wanted to do, and while I was pursuing that interest, I was able to think of another animation that I wanted to do and therefore I was able to finish that animation quickly with time from home and on my spare. As I pursued my interests, I am able to form new ideas for my animations, whether it be another storyline I want to make, changing the way a shot works, or altering the ending/next parts of my story because of my new ideas.

CC Self Assessment – Studio Arts 2D 12

I can get new ideas, build on, or combine other people’s ideas to create new things within the constraints of a form, a problem, or materials

  • For a lot of these projects, me and my peers use each other to bounce ideas off of one another. We are able to help each other out by talking about what the project is about/what it is supposed to teach us while also working with our passions and interests. For example, for the tarot card project, there was a lot of times that I didn’t know what to do, so my friends helped me out by explaining what they were wanting to do and some of their ideas and therefore I was able to form my own ideas with this inspiration.

I maintain relationships with people from different generations.

  • With help from the teacher, I am able to interact with the students I am helping in a way that helps us connect as friends rather than seeming like a threat to them. In saying this, I am also able to have them respect me and listen to me because I treat them this way. They don’t view me as someone they should disobey to get revenge, rather they see me as someone to connect with that can also help them in the class and is there to enforce rules as well.

CC Self Assessment – Photography 12

I can get new ideas, build on, or combine other people’s ideas to create new things within the constraints of a form, a problem, or materials.

  • During photography projects, I see a lot of examples on the website, which really help me with all the different projects. I am able to take those ideas and not copy it, but instead use it to generate new ideas and build on those other photographs, taking some of those concepts in the project or even another project, and using it to help create my own photographs and helping me develop my skills as a photographer by using different concepts and techniques I see from others.

I can show if I like something or not.
I am able to show if I like something or not through this project since we were supposed to take a side. Although the subject was something I was on the fence or not, I was still able to clearly show the side I was on. Also, for the other presentations I was able to show through my questions that I was on the opposite side of the presenters and ask in depth questions to get them to think about their topic.

– What was the most challenging element of the debate project for you personally? Did you overcome that challenge and if so, how did you do so?
I think the presentation was the most difficult part for me. There was a lot of anxiety surrounding it, especially since we were going first. Moreover, there was the part where others got to ask us questions and that was really difficult to deal with. I enjoy having something I am able to practice and something I can generally follow, so that was not a possibility with the questions. Although we did prepare some questions, playing devils advocate for ourselves and one of the questions were asked by M. Tao and it was about how MAID for only mental health conditions will be avaliable in the future and I was glad it was asked because then I was able to solidify that we were not talking about that, and that we did not agree with that part. We were for MAID only for physical illnesses.

– How did this project (as presenter or listener) change your perspectives?
I think for a lot of the different subjects I saw a perspective I didn’t see before and got a lot of different information that I didn’t know before. A lot of the subjects were really the side I was on, but a few weren’t. As a presenter, I was really on the fence about MAID before I learned more about it. Although there are certain areas I’m uncertain about still, I think I have a more in depth perspective and understand how for some people it might be a good thing.

– What were you most proud of in your project?
My last paragraph probably and all the research we did. Although at the end we were told that the first two subjects weren’t what we were supposed to do, I still think we did a lot of research on them. And for my last paragraph, I was grateful to be able to find multiple stories and be able to recount them in a respectful and informative manner while also continuing to support our argument and side of the debate.

CC Self Assessment – Art Studio 12

In Art Studio 12, I had to do an altered book. This was a big project that went through the semester.

I can get new ideas in areas in which I have an interest and build my skills to make them work. I am able to work with new materials and have ideas when I gain an interest in that area of work. The altered needed to have a lot of passion since it was a long project, and therefore I had many ideas. It was also a ton of new areas of art I had to work with, so it was a lot of different skills I had to work on and build throughout this journey.

My goal for this class was to learn more about the 3D aspects of art and less of just drawing and painting, so all the collages and lino print and such.

Another goal is to experiment with different types of mediums and learn how to use them.

CC Self-Assessment – Earth Sciences 11

 

I can get new ideas in areas in which I have an interest and build my skills to make them work.

In ES11, the astronomy unit, the first one, was one of my favorites since I have always been interested in space and things that come with that. Through my interest, I was able to work well on projects and assignments by understanding and building on my previous knowledge that I had before. I can work well with my peers since I am enthusiastic about the topic and very willing to participate.

 

My goal for this class is to prepare myself for next year if I get into astrology and also expand on my learning about the Earth since last year I didn’t quite understand everything I learned.

CC Self-Assessment – Animation 12

I can examine my thinking, seek feedback, reassess my work, and adjust.

In this class, I asked a lot of questions to my teacher and peers about my work. Art is a very subjective subject, and I know as an artist that looking at a piece for too long makes me pick out every little detail that is wrong with it, so I had to look for outside perspectives and adjust if needed before I moved on. If I was to continue adjusting and only use my perspective, I would not be able to get anything done because I would be stuck in a loop of fixing and finding another issue. I need to learn to accept something even if it is not perfect.

CC Self-Assessment – Photography 11

I can usually make my ideas work within the constraints of a given form, problem, or materials if I keep playing with them.

I was a bit hesitant to use the cameras at first, especially since there were a lot of rules around them. And also I didn’t quite understand everything and all the settings, but the more I was able to use them and play around with them, I was able to understand how to adjust the settings to fit what I want my photo to be. I also worked very well with the time constraints in this class because I am a quick worker. Even if I had trouble and wasn’t able to get my idea executed, I still got my work turned in on time.
