4th Quarter Project

Before attempting this activity I thought the most difficult part to accomplish would be finding a scene for two females that was actually somewhat interesting and not too long to memorize. 
After completing it I now think the most difficult part to accomplish was memorizing my lines. I always seem to have trouble memorizing speeches, lines and anything of the sort. But I can memorize lyrics without an issue. But I suppose I'll end up getting better at memorizing lines over time. 
The most important thing I learned from this activity is that no matter what I must do my part regardless if my partner is. I need to motivate myself.
The most surprising or interesting thing I learned from this activity is that the amount of effort you put into the project is represented in the grade you receive. 
The aspect of my work I am most satisfied with is the script that my partner and I agreed to perform. I find it to be well written, fun to perform, and interesting to read. 
The aspect of my work I am least satisfied with is my unpreparedness and own laziness making my project sub-par to what I would have wanted to present and perform. The performance could have been more polished,  and performance ready than it was. 

refelction blog on group scene

Before attempting this activity, I thought the most difficult part to accomplish was to find a play for my group, we even had to break up the original group to do that. After completing it, I now think the most difficult part to accomplish was to memorize our lines. The original play had typos so I didn’t know how to pronounce some of the words. The most important thing I learned from this activity is the more fun you have with an activity the better  it is. The most surprising or interesting thing I learned from this activity is that you really start to remember things you couldn’t before when you’re really nervous, such as my lines. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am most satisfied with is the timing with my blocking and the audio we had. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am least satisfied with is not taking the time to make the performance way better than it was.

The aspect of my work on this activity that I am most satisfied with is the actual choreographed blocking.

Before attempting the 4th Quarter Acting Project, I thought the most difficult part to accomplish would be coming out of my shell. In acting I haven’t really been the most ‘’out there’’ person even though I try to be. But after completing it, I now think the most difficult part to accomplish was memorizing my lines. During the scene I cut off and messed up a couple of my lines. But thankfully my partner, Calonda is an excellent actress. And I appreciate her trying to help me keep it together. The most important thing I learned from this activity is no matter how difficult things get, never give up because considering my problems with my lines we kept going and still managed a B. The most surprising or interesting thing I learned from this activity is I’m better at acting than I thought. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am most satisfied with is again my amazing partner Calonda keeping it together for us. The aspect of my work on this activity that I am least satisfied with is I feel we could have gotten an A. But I’m happy I finally did my best, it feels really good.

Period 4

1. Before attempting this activity, I though the most difficult part to accomplish was... how am i going to put the actual piece of costume together. I had to think of different ideas knowing that it had to be an article of clothing and not just a prop.

2. After completing it, I now think the most difficult part to accomplish was... Making the sketching for my costume rendering. It was tough drawing the actual charcter from a book without being an artist but i pulled through it with the best of my ability and drew what i could.

3. The most important thing I learned from this activity is that... Hard work does pay off. It took about a full 3 hours just to create my rendering or sketch. It took me more to do my final draft. I also learned now that costume design is not as easy as i though it would be it does take lots of time and also alot of thinking and planning on what the next line will be.

4. The most surprising and interesting thing I learned from this assignment is... To not overlook as i mentioned in question 3 costume design. It is not as easy as people hype it to be. I am still glad i chose costume design over duet scene or monologs. It was very interesting to see how having a perfession in this area is not as easy as many other things.

5. The aspect of my work that I'm most satisfied with is... Creating my costume. It is a great feeling when you work so hard on something an the outcome that you have been waiting for for so long has happened, thats what i'm most satisfied with. I like what i did with my final piece and am glad once again that i chose the play and idea that i did.

6. The aspect of my work that I'm least satisfied with is... there is nothing really that i could say for this portion of this reflection. In all, i am very happy with my final sketchings and this was the first time i was put to the task and since everything turned out ok i am very happy to say that i'm glad about the outcome of my costume design.

Fourth quarter assignment!!!

Jessica Taylor

Before attempting this activity I thought the most difficult part to accomplish would be working
together with two other people, and having to rely and trust on someone other than myself for a grade.

After completing it now think the most difficult part to accomplish was finding an actual scene to practice on. There were many disagreements and last minute madness.

The most important thing I learned for this activity is that team work rather than individual worship is the only way to be successful.

The most interesting thing I learned for this activity is than when anyone is doing a scene with two or more people, practice should be done two times more!

The aspect of my work on this activity that I am most satisfied with is how it all turned out. We all ended up pulling together at the last minute and the performance was good overall.

The aspect of my work on this activity that I am least satisfied with is the fact that we should have rehearsed more beforehand and not have procrastinated. I believe it would have turned out even more successful.

Costume Design

Before doing costume design I thought the most part would be coloring the design. My coloringskills are less than superb so I thought it would be difficult. After completeting it, I think building the costume required the most effort. The most important thing I've learned from this project is to plan ahead. I learned basically not to wait to the last minute and to plan for mistakes. The most surprisingand interesting thing I have learned is that creativity can and will flow naturally even in an area that you are not really interested in. The part that I am most satisfied with is the rendering. In my opinion they came out nice. I am least satisfied with my actual costume. I actually wanted to do something different but I changed my mind at the last minute.
