MPOL 2025
I have followed some parts of m VMV really well, and other parts not well at all.
I’m most proud that I have been given a conditional acceptance into TMU for Fashion, fulfilling a big part of my vision. As I have mentioned before, my creative pursuits are just as important as my academic goals and this is a huge step forward towards my long-term goals.
What I wish I had started earlier is incorporating my passions more frequently into my projects, which I will hopefully be able to do with the Past Forward project.
Successes:
The Horror Project was the most stressful thing I’ve been a part of in terms of recent PLP projects. I was in charge of screenwriting, a role I wanted and was given. I ended up writing multiple versions of what would become a 40+ page script. I loved being able to test my creative writing in a new way, and I found that it was a lot of fun having the freedom to pull all the strings creatively for the whole production.
- I was able to think creatively within parameters
- I was able to receive critique and make changes
- I was able to communicate effectively with a team.
Setbacks:
Now more than ever I have found it difficult to express my learning outside of graded work. In all the time I’ve been in PLP participation has always been a struggle, but more recently I’ve felt like I am actively sabotaging myself by not involving myself in discussions, asking questions, or showing proficiency through external means. This goes for every project this year, since September.
By not engaging I am:
- Creating artificial parameters to contain my thinking and understanding
- Not receiving unexpected / external feedback or elaboration from peers / teachers
I would like to share my knowledge is meaningful ways that will be to my benefit, moving forward.
Thank you for listening and I will now take any questions or feedback.
