Final Journal Reflection

Completing this project was complicated. I learnt that patience was extremely significant while
finishing this project because the pottery work kept broke or had a shape that I do not like. Also,
I felt proud and a sense of accomplishment that someone could learn from my video. When I
first made it, I was disappointed in myself because I was not proud of my work but after
completing it, I finally created it and learnt that I can accomplish it if I don’t give up.

This project is relevant to me because Pottery is a kind of art subject, and I can also study art
and can find a connection from here. I was stressed out during this project, but I was able to
finish it safely because I have tried art before so I could catch up quickly. Also, When I made this
project, I made it with the thought that I wanted someone to be proud of learning from my
video. So I hope this project will have a positive impact on the community.

For well-being, I knew that I was responsible for my actions and well-behaved in class and
outside the school like being patient and calm while doing this project. Then Solving problems in
peaceful ways. Whenever I got stressed or stuck, I did not harm anyone and did it alone
peacefully. Lastly developing and designing, I brainstormed and researched many concepts on
the internet before starting my project and for this reason, my project flow safely. For the
weaknesses, connecting and engaging with others, I believe I did not collaborate with other
people a lot and only asked questions to the teacher or my friends. Also, for personal strength
and ability, It was difficult to my strengths while accomplishing this project, while doing this
project I lost some confidence and wondered if I could do this. Lastly, explaining/recounting and
reflecting on experiences and accomplishments. It was tough to explain my progress when there
was a progress report assignment because I could not share my thoughts nicely.

Actually, it was to help the elderly get a new hobby after watching my video, but this project
seems to have found my new hobby too which was pottery and editing videos. And I got
interested in pottery and if I work hard, I think I will do well.

In fact, the process comes closer to me than the finished product, because at the beginning of
the semester, I was in a low mood, so I kept pushing back on my homework and it was really
difficult to catch up. However, now that I have finished all my homework, I feel good and proud.

When making pottery, there were many cases where one side collapsed, or I did not like it. So, I
had to restart my pottery work from the start and record the video again. It extremely irritated
me, but I restarted again with the patient. Also editing the video took a really long period and
one video got deleted due to a bug but I was able to finish it after brainwashing myself that it
was really the last time.

Next time, I want to edit the video more professionally. Because this is the first time I've edited
it, I'm very inexperienced, so I couldn't get a better outcome

Don't procrastinate on your homework because it's really hard to keep up and you're taking
other subjects, so the moment you procrastinate, the gates of hell begins. I don't think it's bad
 to take summer or online 11th grade because careers have a lot of assignments, so it can be
difficult to keep up with other 12 th-grade subjects.

From this site, I learnt much information about how and why pottery is good for people’s
health like pottery reduces stress and improves focus.

Also, from this video I learn many video editing skills such as how to add subtitles, add music
and trim the video and more.

I want to earn a little experience next time before creating the pottery work because there were
many mistakes, and my skills were not that great. Also, the next time I want to research more
information to make my project better. Lastly the next time I won’t try to do it independently, ill
ask more questions and assist so I could not get stressed and the project will shine more.
