Communicating ideas - Skype Module 3 focus

We're almost at the finish line of Module 3. I'm certainly feeling the pressure. My essay is almost ready, but the artefact is very much a work-in-progress. I'm testing out some ideas trying to put them together in a meaningful way.

On Monday's Skype we've discussed the topic of communicating ideas, ways ideas can be represented. These are some points that stayed with me after that conversation:

  • Using a form or a structure recognised in your field of practice. This will inform the length or the shape of your artefact, even though the content might be different than what you're used to. You're still making a piece of art 
  • Straying away from a verbal narrative unless absolutely necessary. Try to convey ideas with clarity, but without explicitly describing every step of your journey - if you know what you're trying to say, the audience probably will as well.
  • All three forms of describing the inquiry - essay, artefact and presentation - should inform one another. Maybe there's something in the process of creating the artefact that made you go back to your essay and formulate your thoughts differently, or you've added something to it? How will you presentation be influenced in the time of the Christmas break? 
I think the last point will be something I'll be trying to really pay attention to in those last weeks of the BAPP journey. 

How are you getting on with your work? Have you noticed the process of creating your artefact having impact on your inquiry overall? Leave your thoughts in the comments

    Hi Elzbieta, I like your bullet points, they are very clear. How are you getting on with your artefact? Can't believe it is all being submitted this Friday.

    My artefact is now done, what a relief. It has taken a long time to put together, but I think it is representative of my inquiry.

    What have you created? Jess xx

      Hi Jess, it's great to hear you're done with the work! I've filmed mine today - I've created a song in which I'm showing the journey of my inquiry and touching on the subject I've been exploring (time management). It's all based on the idea of balance - I'm trying to portray it both trough music and lyrics. Juxtaposing different phases and experiences from the process.

      What creative language did you use for your artefact? Elzbieta xx

I've found this graphic really helpful to visualise the critical thinking process. Before I've lost my blog, some of you left some great comments about questions you would add to the graph, feel free to repeat yourself or add some more!

Second beginning... thoughts on losing my blog

Hello everyone! Yesterday something happened. Something that I wouldn't wish on anyone - my blog was deleted with all its content and all attempts to retrieve it have failed miserably. But life is life and one of the most powerful lessons we can learn is to move on. Therefore I wanted to share a few thought this experience has birthed: - Better now than later - it would undoubtedly be an awful stress for me if that happened towards the very end of my inquiry (for a simple reason that I'll probably be more stressed around that time in general). Having this happen now still gives me motivation to start again and keep on engaging with the BAPP community - Make back-ups of EVERYTHING that's important to you! It's not the first time I've lost something of value to me (recordings of music ideas, a lesson plan, favourite scarf, money). Some of them I've managed to find (Oh, what a joy!) and some were lost forever. I believe this particular experience will incre...

Analysis - Module 3 focus Skype

Yesterday's Skype was really, really useful for me. We were asked to give a short overview of our inquiry and what have we discovered during our analysis process. Then other students could ask questions and give feedback followed by feedback from Adesola, this Skype's supervisor. Speaking out loud about my analysis helped me to organise my thoughts and strangely enough - realise that I'm actually in a better place than I thought I am! Questions and feedback has pointed me to themes and ideas I haven't given as much attention before, but now they really seem worth giving more thought when I'm writing my report. Themes & Questions One thing that came up is how themes can emerge from one another and it's very interesting to notice those connections. For example in my inquiry about time-management amongst multi-disciplinary performers, I've spoken to my participants about the idea of balance and a lot of them described balance as something active, a ch...
