Conclusion on the group project
“Taking turns and working with friends may improve grades” (Eckart, 2019) – This statement could be very accurate if only all group participants would realise that.
Well, what can I say -depending on the assignment and the structure of the groups, a project can turn out to be a source of great frustration. In this case, where I need to summarise all my experience working on this particular project, I have to say I feel a slight disappointment.
Group projects are supposed to teach us how to work in groups effectively (as if ☹).
In my experience, they really don’t. The only thing this group projects teach me is how I don’t like to be involved in the group project in the first place, bet better do tasks on my own.
Please take a look at our website, it is all finished now,http://creativeap.co.uk/ but as I said it could always be better. We had our exhibition at Why Not Gallery in Burton, where we organised a 3D virtual tour to be made of it.
Curators - V2-Artspace made an amazing job - so technically our virtual 3D exhibition - evidence of our work, as a link will last forever. Big thanks to https://v21artspace.com/.
The total cost of it was £240.00 – I asked rest of my group to contribute £50.00 towards it with me paying £90 as my work for this exhibition was also my Final Major project – I asked V21 to add more digital information for my work, so as music.
SO, what did I learn from the experience?
That I rather work alone and fallow my own initiative, ideas and create something interesting without others. Then at least if something goes wrong or not completed, I can blame only myself. Now it’s not really completed up to my standards, but I never was born to lead and age difference in our group also didn’t help, so it is what it is, but there could be so much more.
What went well?
Well to be honest – the end result is quite pleasing as module states we had to work as a team to plan an activity or event that would express our achievements in ways that are accessible to a wider audience. Our joined website is a perfect example of that. We also where asked to work as a group, designating roles and responsibilities. Well, it sort of work. At the end of the day, we have a website – we come up with a venue. Organised an exhibition, alongside with virtual tour which can be viewed long after the exhibition will end that way definitely expressing our work to a much wider audience by making a significant online presence.
What went not so well?
Work as a team to develop this into a fully functioning activity demanded some more input from other team members. As a result, the project outcome is not as strong as it could be.
What I have done differently, given the opportunity?
More time and resources would allow for me to create a proper launch party in Why Not Gallery. So, I would make my own invitations. We had our promotional material only on Facebook. Flyers could be nice, but it would certainly up to the costs.
