For the second creative project, our group has decided to make a powerpoint presentation on the art of ballet. A certain aspect was assigned to each person in the group to research, create slides about, and explain to the class. I was assigned to research and compare the topics of ballet and modern dance.
Inspired from watching Swan Lake and Black Swan, our group was inspired to create our project about ballet.
From this project I learned a bit more about the background of ballet and modern dance. Surprisingly, modern dance was created in order to rebel against ballet's strict structure by creating a form of dance that is more free. I learned that ballet was created during the Renaissance Era. Ballet also takes a lot of finesse and many years to perfect. I relate ballet to martial arts because it takes the same amount of effort and devotion of time to become better; I have studied Kung Fu for 11 years and I must admit that it is a very hard to master.
Working with a group is always a learning experience and working on the creative project as a group proved that point. I believe that we learned a lot from the first creative project about communicating more and our group did talk to each other more during class and through Facebook. I feel like this group worked a lot better than my first group and in return, the project was a lot more fun to do and a lot easier to do. If there was a problem, it was choosing a topic for our creative project. With so many brilliant and persistent minds working on this project, our group had many ideas and it took a while to actually get a set plan for the project. If I were to do this project again, I would definitely try to solidify a plan faster.
Overall, this project has been a joy to work on, especially with a great group. Although we are still piecing the final parts together, I have no doubts that we will impress with this project.
