Your workshop must have engrossed them thoroughly as their behaviour was impeccable while they were making their masks!Amanda Robinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14763279787866971702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3933268048562804955.post-86107169827788310662013-10-04T04:11:43.393-07:002013-10-04T04:11:43.393-07:00Finally Unit 2 part E - review the project

So we need to find another way for you to share this work. You have taken some lovely photographs of many of the masks that were made, so perhaps you could write a short introduction about the event and present the photographs instead, you could use powerpoint maybe and add it here to your blog or you could upload it to Arts Award Voice website then you will have shown the finished work and be able to gain feedback, have a think you may well have a better idea to share your work instead.Sarah Cowley-Catchpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456327809183892985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3933268048562804955.post-63066741958192170732013-10-04T03:43:08.283-07:002013-10-04T03:43:08.283-07:00Your project seems to have gone really well Demi, ...Your project seems to have gone really well Demi, it is quite a challenging age to work with, especially for a volunteer like youreslf who hasn't been doing it for very long. The fact that you planned your activity so well ment that you were very prepared and that helped everything to run smoothly. Based on your feed back and reflection I can see that you reached the conclusion that a smaller group would have been better, I agree I think that a smaller groupsize would have allowed you more time with each participant and enabled you to help each of them develop their ideas. <br />However you coped really well with the larger group size and the results were very good. The young people enjoyed the activity and were happy with their creations and that is afterall the main objective. As creative practioners we will always think that workshops could have gone better, and think of ways to improve activities for next time, that is what helps us to develop and to improve the activities that we provide. So that is an important and valuable lesson to learn. I think that a development for this activity would be the ability to change the shape of the masks using tape, scissors, paper mache, or maybe mod rock, but I can see that you had constraints due to the amount of young people wanting to take part and that a more onvolved craft would have taken longer, but maybe it might be a development for next time.Sarah Cowley-Catchpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456327809183892985noreply@blogger.com
