STUDY TASK 8

Final Presentation - Our Collective

I relatively had a good experience working in this group. We cooperated and worked well with one another through assigning individual roles and tasks. That method of working was very helpful. This wasn't my first time working with other people, but what I have learned was that communication was the key to being successful (with group/collaborative work) as well as doing your part.

Also being decisive is one thing that I have noticed throughout the project. Debating on concepts and ideas took a long time, but once we pitched in ideas and made the final call with a vote sorts things out efficiently. Gathering information was not a simple task as we hoped to be as realistic as possible despite this project simply being a proposal. Getting accurate information can be quite time consuming. 

Presenting our idea to the class happened to be one of the biggest challenges as some of us may find it uncomfortable when asked to do public speaking, myself included. But when everything is prepared and I have got everything I needed to deliver, it wasn't as patronizing as I initially imagined. It is also an essential skill to have (public speaking) or voicing out opinions amongst groups of people, especially when working collaboratively or with a collective. 

STUDY TASK 8

Brave Bois - Our Collective

Research - Our Collective

'Creative Growth Art Center' - is a non profit center in California focused on creating a space for artists/creatives with disabilities. 

• They have exactly the ideas and concepts that we have in mind, which is to create an open and collaborative space for people to create art. Their little creative center is set as an art studio and their artworks got showcased in MoMa and have been invited Venice Biennale. 

• It seemed to have been a great success as they stated "...remain in high demand among collectors around the world."

STUDY TASK 10

Presentation - top-tips and strategies 

• Confidence - is something that I found important from today's session. As well as having a version of myself (a more professional version of myself)
• Notes - I would love to be able to present without notes, however I personally find it useful so that I keep myself in track and not ramble
• Bookend & Power of 3 - be engaging and talk about myself as a practitioner, rather than the general information
• Rehearse - Making the effort to practice and rehearse is important. If I am confident of what I am presenting/speaking I feel more assured and probably have less chances of feeling pressured/anxious/forgetting what to say
