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.

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 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 – Photography 11

Briana on

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.

CC Self-Assessment – Studio Arts 2D 11

Briana on

In Studio Arts 2D 11, we had a project that the prompt was trees. For this project, I decided to do a constellation with acrylic paint

I build the skills I need to make my ideas work, and usually succeed, even if it takes a few tries.

For this painting, there were specific spots I had to make for the stars. I first measured my sketch and scaled it up to the size of my good copy canvas, but some of the dots were off so I freehanded the parts that didn’t look right until I liked it. After that, I realized it was going to be difficult to keep the spaces needed uncovered/visible since it would be the last thing I painted. I worked around this by taping a piece of tape and marking the dots with paint so they transfer to the paper. After this, I painted my background before I dotted the dots that were on the paper with white and pressed it down on my canvas. It was the first time I did something like this, but it worked and I am very proud of that painting.

 

My goal for this class was to improve my skills with my paintings, especially acrylic paintings, and become more experimental with my work. I also wanted to find a style I enjoyed when drawing so I can continue doing art and not get too frustrated while doing it. In addition to this, I wanted to not worry about my mistakes and my art being perfect too much for this class.

CC Self-Assessment – New Media 10

In New Media 10, we had a project where we had to create a graphic novel that was speculative fiction. It was one of my personal favourite projects because I ended up drawing the comic myself and I am really proud of my creative ability in relation to this. Below is my reflection on an “I” statement and also the link to the post which has the full project.

 

I deliberately learn a lot about something (e.g., by doing research, talking to others, or practicing), so that I am able to generate new ideas about it or the ideas just pop into my head.

While building up to this project, we had to learn about what speculative fiction was, so this involved doing research, discussing with others, reading/watching different pieces of media and making comments on it, etc. After all of this, I was able to get ideas for the graphic novel, the story, the characters, and also the main thing, how to make it a story which is speculative fiction. It was a really fun project, and by learning about it first, it was very helpful because I was able to get better ideas since I had a more in-depth knowledge of what speculative fiction was.

CC Self-Assessment – Arts Médiatiques 10

In Media Arts 10, we had a project where we had to create a short film with the prompt “invisible –> visible” and also trying to copy the style of Wes Anderson since we had watched The Grand Budapest Hotel to help us with the concept. In this post, I will share the short film we made at the bottom and discuss how I can get new ideas in areas in which I have an interest and build my skills to make them work.

 

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

I am very passionate about film, photography, art, and things like that, so since I took on the role of “directing” this film we made, I was able to help with ideas. I also had to think about shots since we were imitating the style of Wes Anderson who has a very significant style. At times, this was a challenge since I was trying to use my own style. I also really enjoyed this idea because it was an experience I feel like a lot of people might have had. I was able to use my own ideas to build on my skills with planning this film and helping come up with ideas.

 

 

CC Self-Assessment – Science Humains 10

In Socials 10, there were multiple projects we had to do, but the thing that I will be talking about are the “Analyse Historique”‘s. These were charts that we had to fill in with the context, direct cause, effects (immediate and long-term), why it was remarkable, and what it helped us understand, according to the historic event that we chose. I will be talking about how I can get new ideas, build on other’s ideas and add new ideas of my own, or combine other people’s ideas in new ways to create new things or solve straightforward.

 

I can get new ideas, build on other’s ideas and add new ideas of my own, or combine other people’s ideas in new ways to create new things or solve straightforward.

I am generally not good at these charts and I have a lot of trouble with them, so to help me, I have gotten input from people. By doing this, I am able to see things from a different perspective and build on their idea. It also can help me think of something that is my own original idea. I don’t know why I’m not that good at doing these charts, I have a lot of trouble with socials in general, but with peers and friends, I am able to get ideas and problem solve in ways that I understand and I am interested in.

CC Self-Assessment – Visual Arts 10

Briana on

In Art Studio 10, we had to do a project dedicated to face proportions and just the general face of a person. To make the project more fun, we had to make ourselves a superhero/villain. I decided to reflect on this since I think it was a kind of a difficult project since my style of art isn’t very realistic and this was supposed to be more realistic proportions.

I generate new ideas as I pursue my interests.

I am more comfortable with digital art instead of traditional since it’s been what I have more experience with and I was really into my idea for the character I would create. I wasn’t really proud of the full face one, but the one that has the green bands I was quite happy with because it was the original idea I had for this self-portrait and I got to do it. This relates to the statement because as I pursued with the drawing, I was able to get more ideas and a better visual of what I wanted. I did say this was my original idea and it was, but I didn’t have a very clear visual, just a general idea.

My creative ideas are often a form of self-expression for me.

My art is something I use to express myself a lot since I find it difficult sometimes and using my creativity helps. For this one, there wasn’t much emotion or self expression per say, but there was a lot of thought put into it. For the ones with the bands, it was something that I was pretty proud of. I also really enjoyed the eye that connected the cloak type thing because it was, in my opinion, a good addition because of the whited out eye.

I am willing to take significant risks in my thinking.

This to me was a risk because as I said, my style isn’t really realistic and so the drawing was a challenge. I had a lot of trouble with the eyes and to me they still look off for some reason and I am unsure why. This risk helped me figure out that if I work hard enough I might be able to get to a point where my art can be more realistic if I want it.
