ART - REFLECTION TERM 1

Giovanni the clown

My group and i preformed about Giovanni and added our own twist.  our story is about a clown called Giovanni  and he got fired because the management found a better clown who was more younger and entertaining. From stress and anxiety Giovanni walks along a path and finds a river and as he washes his face he sees a very sad old face. Our group decided that when Giovanni touches the water , the water which is Adam and i lift to give water life and make it look really realistic. Bhavya is the water fountain but could do some wavey actions to make it obvious that he is  a waterfall

physical theater letter

That says physical theater and our group couldn't send and finish we love drama

peer evaluation

Time

 We preformed a play about time. The purpose of this play is to show you that time is important and that you should not be lazy and stay at home all the time and accomplish nothing to satisfy you. Our group did well but could remember the lines and put more effort along with making the play more clear,

BOX PERFORMANCE

Our group preformed very well but could improve on the timing.Our group listened to each others idea and came up with a great one.Our idea was to find whats under the mysterious box. Our group had some troubles since one of our team member was  absent but we still did it because we were ready and  confident.



Next time we can practice even more to make the box performance  more realistic and clear on whats happening to give then a better view. .

Our group of Orpheus and Eurydice

There were four sciences my group did , telling the parents of Orpheus that he married Eurydice, Eurydice dies, the underworld and how Orpheus dies .

REFLECTION
Our group did very well , but we could've made the story more clear and make our script more interesting . Our was very dramatic , emotional and some of us were loud . Our group could be more confident as well  as more creative

Drama mask reflection

REFLECTION 

What went well ?

What went well for me is that i found the right skin color and the mask was easy to cut to exaggerate the mouth and the eyes 

What did not work?

The details did not work because it was hard to paint the details and it was hard  to look symmetrical 

How could you improve next time?

Next time i could exaggerate the cheek bones and make the eyebrows bushy and more thick

The scene of Oedipus killing the chariot man

Today in class we preformed one of the scenes from Oedipus and the Sphinx and our scene was how Oedipus killed the chariot man . What i found confusing and tricky was preforming the unison but it got easier later on , our team did very well in over exaggerating , they were very confident  and showed a lot of facial expressions to make the scene dramatic and full of action. In my opinion i think our group collaborated and organised the scene very well . I found the Oedipus and the Sphinx very interesting as well as the whole Greek theatre topic. we could have improved on the unison because there were small issues and also could improve the script to grab the readers attention.

Reflect on how you used the ATLs throughout this unit. Give evidence to support your answers. Did you manage to master any? I organize my time wisely when it comes to homework and I meet my deadline. I managed my behavior by focusing and listening in class. I try to spend little time on my device and I make sure my blog is up to date and I have to make sure my homework is done .  I ignore people and mind my own business if someone is trying to bully me  , and If I am stressed I solve my problems one by one . I'm still working on thinking more positive and I'm getting there . When I'm dealing with disappointment , I do get upset but I try to think positive and I know there is still time to improve.  I used reflective skills when we had  to reflect on peters theme , wolfs theme and hunters theme and when we had to post a treble clef on blogger . I Learned the treble clef and how to find a C in the piano . I also learned the name of the notes  for example : crochet , semi brieve , quaver , minim  and I also learned pitch  and what pitch means.
A: Knowing & Understanding ·         Explain what knowledge & Understanding you have gained during the unit. ·         Can you explain what you have been learning about during your Arts rotation? ·         Have you learnt any new arts language and terminology? ·         Have you learnt a critical thinking process for your rotation, explain it. ·         Have you learnt about the historical/cultural context of your art form? B: Developing Skills ·         Explain which Arts skills you have acquired and developed during the unit? ·        How did you use apply these new skills and techniques to create, perform and/or present art? C: Thinking Creatively ·        Explain what your artistic intention was, why did you make this art form what was its function and purpose? ·        Can you explain if you considered your work from an alternative perspective, i.e., the impact on the audience/or developed your work to communicate a focused message ·        How did you demonstrate the exploration of ideas during the unit? D: Responding ·         Evaluate and assess your artistic response during the unit. ·         Does your work demonstrated a movement/genre/theme/concept and how? 1.     What could you do to improve your performance in this rotation? 2.     What areas of improvement do you need to focus on? 3.     How could you improve your learning experience in the next rotation?						Use the questions to help focus your answers so you give a strong reflection on your individual performance: I’ve learnt how to play hunters , peters and wolfs theme. I also learnt tips and tricks to get your notes right  for the treble clef. The reason we did this project is too express art for example , the peters theme , using specific notes describes peter and try’s to express peters attributes . I’ve learnt how to think creatively , reflect and self management. The purpose of this is so that we can learn new and interesting things that we didn’t know and to test us on our knowledge . I  demonstrated the exploration of ideas during the unit by putting my work on blogger for proof. My work mostly demonstrates movement , for example the piano and the themes. I can put more effort to improve my performance this rotation. I need to improve on reflecting on my work. I can improve my learning by listening to instructions and working hard.
