Fourteen - module two let’s go

 Hi, 

So we finished module one and got our grades. As I am a total perfectionist I’m not as happy as I wanted to be with my grade but I was informed that I did very well and I’m too hard on myself so I’m trying out into perspective my view of myself and not hold myself at an unattainable standard. 

So now onto module two. The reading of the module handbook is well underway but I can’t say it’s making me feel any more in the know yet; to put it simply I feel confused and overwhelmed with what I have to achieve in the next month or so… but we just have to take it one day at a time I guess. 

To prevent myself from getting too worried I decided to focus on what i can do right now - I made a huge mind map of ideas for topics to develop further and how they connect with each other. I tried to differentiate between ‘bigger picture’ topics and the more individual ones. I like the ideas I’m forming but nervous that when it comes to fitting them in with what’s needed to pass module two I will hit a road block; but hopefully not. Stay tuned to find out ahhaha. 

All I want to say is good luck to everyone for the coming term; let’s all support each other well! 

Until next time, 

T,D

    What a good idea Tyla making a mind map, I find myself sitting feeling overwhelmed reading the handbook so this activity would break it up. Good luck with this module!

    I also felt the same after getting my results, although I didn’t do awful, I always want better. But it’s great to look at how to improve for the next two modules. My boyfriend said something the stuck with me after receiving my grade, “a D is a degree.” At the end of the day grades don’t matter, we either get the degree or not. As long as we do our best and learn something that we can use to improve ourselves and our practice, that’s what matters.
    I definitely feel overwhelmed in picking a topic but after the last session and hearing from all of you and your ideas I’m feeling so much better.

    ive been doing a mind map to as I find it the easiest ways to get ideas out of my head! think we are all on the same page when it comes to feeling a bit overwhelmed (I know I am) are best way is to take a little step at a time

Thirteen; artefact diary 4

 Hello,  it’s only been a minute but I’m here to upload the next stage of my guitar! I’m so so close to finishing it and it’s beginning to (in my humble opinion) look pretty good. The part I’m talking about in this blog is the sides and the neck. I’ve already spoken about this partly but the sides are a collage that represent my most influential moments in my creative life. It includes shows that have deep meaning to me, sheet music of songs that I have sung for big life changing events as well as photos of moments I consider influential to me. The neck consists of a collage of said sheet music as well as some quotes that inspire me to be my best and to never stop creating. I have handwritten the quotes before placing them on my guitar as it feels much more personal. The last piece I’ve added at this stage is a handwritten note from my nana about my passion in performing. My relationship I have with her is close to my heart as well as a huge influence for me as a performer so ...

Two; a trail of thoughts

So time for entry number 2! If I’m honest I planned to do this post a few days ago and to be posting another today but my life seems to only keep getting busier and time has gotten away from me, but here I am now! As I’d planned for more than one blog so far I think I’m going to take the opportunity I have now while I’m writing this blog to collate my thoughts and write one longer post.  So where to start. I’d like to round of my thoughts by talking about the module handbook. I definitely need to have another read (and probably never stop reading it) to keep my ideas coming and fully understand what it is I am doing or heading to do; that being said I have quite a lot of annotations so far and although the lenses of thought are tricky at times they’re already opening my mind to new ways of thinking about my practice that I may not have yet.  An example of this would be the theories of different types of learning. While I am aware of the ways in which we learn I had never consi...
