Blog 27: Sel Reflection



Title: Senior Project Reflection
Label: Presentation
Directions: Please answer the following questions and turn it in to the blog.
Due Date: The day after your two-hour presentation by 8:00 A.M.


(1) Positive Statement

I'm most proud of all the knowledge I have gained through my independent components and regular research. I literally worked from the ground zero up. I know so much about my topic and have a deep understanding of what it takes to be a makeup artist.


(2) Questions to Consider


For my 2hr presentation I would give my self an AE. I deserve an AE because I engaged my audince and really showed how much knowledge I had. Plus it wasn't your typical presentation on makeup. I went thoroughly through all my information and really tried to educate the students in my presentation class. Through my activities it served as evidence that they were listening and understanding on what I had to say. I also sounded confident throughout my talking time. Plus it felt great to hear Mrs. Edwards gushing to me how much she loved my presentation. I was also able to catch Mr. Frakes attention who said he wasn't interested in makeup but who learned a lot through my presentation.  
AE 
   
b.     What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)? Why?
I would give myself a P/P+ because I worked really hard on getting solid research. It showed during my Exit Interview and 2hr Presentation. I was also able to make this a meaningful project instead of just a grade.

(3) What worked for you in your senior project?
I was able to get a lot of feed back from other people on what I should do for my project. I found great research and I'm now certified.

(4) What didn’t work for you in your senior project?
Trying to figure out which part of makeup I was going to focus on. Also there was always something due so there was a lot on my plate which made me very stressed. The hardest part of my senior project was completing my independent components. 


(5) Finding Value
I know how to make connections with people, have solid research and being certified, which always me to create my own business.

Service Learning


Content:

(1) LIA Response to blog:

    Literal
Duties - In the first half of my hours Alicia taught me a lot of things, like certain makeup looks, how fashion is apart of makeup, trends, and hair styling. I my self was able to clean brushes, set up, prep the faces, interact with clients, create makeup looks and miscellaneous things. 

    Interpretive
I most benefitted from service learning by interacting with clients. I listened to what they wanted and saw my mentor Alicia respond to them. Soon I was able to start making a plan for clients and what they wanted to look like and presented it to them. Seeing their reactions when the look was finished was priceless. If they didn't like the look we would sit down with her and think of ways to correct it. They were always our number one concern. 

   Applied
This helped greatly towards my EQ. I was able to see what client's first impression was on the makeup artist and how they react to us. I saw how all three of my answers were put in use and every makeup application was a success.
