Since the new school year has started I have had more opportunities to grow in my artistic skills, due to the Visual Arts and Media Academy. This academy has helped me develop many new skills, that I was lacking in the previous years, before. This being said when the celebration of learning came up this year on December 22, 2022, I was unable to attend. I did still manage to put up some of my best work in the showcase, though I was gone. In the showcase of my work I displayed 4 photos I had taken in Rowley, Alberta when the class went for a visit this October. In my opinion these were my strongest pieces in VAM this year so far, because I feel as a photographer my techniques and effort has grown substantially. This being said I have had lots of time to practice and learn how to use the camera more and more, which helps in the growth of my learning. I believe strongly that I have improved not only over the years but other the span of a couple of months. VAM has helped me develop the skills and given me the resources to display and create the best work I am capable of. All of this being said I am ready to continue learning and developing in my skills in the future.
Since being in VAM 10 i have had many opportunities to display my abilities. Having the chance to work on the independent project and being able to display my learning has really helped me grow as an artist. So far my plan has been to make 8 drawings of the ways that fears are displayed on people. We as a class have done 57% of our projects so far. Having the chance to do something completely on my own has made me look deeper into my scheduling skills. One thing that has been challenging has been keeping up with my timeline, this is because I tend to procrastinate and lose motivation very quickly. But other then that I have been able to complete the things that have been scheduled for completion so far. The independent project has been my favourite project we have done so far in VAM 10 so far because I have gotten to see all of the other students' projects. Seeing other students so involved and their ideas has really helped spark my interest in the project. The things I could do in the later grades branching off of this project would really show the depth into my abilities. I am very excited to display the end result of this project to the world. On December 16th 2021 we had an event called “The Celebration of Learning” overall I feel it was a good turn out. I had attended the event and stayed the whole time, I feel personally like it went great and that the viewers really enjoyed it. I think this because most of the people I’ve talked to had really enjoyed looking at the different art pieces. I think this really benefited the group as a whole because it made us realize that we are very skilled at what we do and made us feel good. My reason for thinking this was because the group genuinely seemed very happy that people thought this way about their pieces. Personally, if I were to change anything about the show, I would try to get more people to come and enjoy the films that were played in the theatre room. Overall the event was very well planned and went well.
