WoK One

Why I chose swimming Swimming for a long time

Something I enjoyed

What does swimming say about me? I’m a competitive swimmer

I’m highly passionate about doing well

Lots of emotions go into competitive swimming

WoK One

What have I learned in class is Emotion

Helps me strive for better PB and keeps me competitive

Emotional stability of my peers to continue

There are a few primary emotions that go into swimming as a whole Happiness (i.e when you get a PB or medals)

Sadness (i.e when you don’t make your times, or work as hard as you wanted)

Anger (i.e when you realize that you gained a couple of seconds to your PB)

Surprise (i.e when you didn’t expect to come first)

Passion for the art

Photography says that… I am a passionate photographer

I can express myself with-out the use of language

I have very different intentions for all the work I have done

WoK Two

What I learned in class is

Emotion

Art gives a much different emotion than swimming, community service or academic work

Lots of primary emotions

Happiness (i.e when a shoot turns out the way it was planned)

Fear (i.e that the idea or concept is too challenging to finish)

Anger (i.e when a project isn’t completed, or it has to be re-done)

Surprise (i.e while editing- new colours, textures etc)

WoK Two

Perception

How the intent of the artist vs. the perception of the audience

Perception can be altered by cultural aspects or the ways someone has been raised

Belief

For the future

What do I know about myself that will help my knowledge in the future

Photography

Perceptions on things may be drastically different

I will take this into consideration

Beliefs on certain aspects may be stronger than mine

Express primary emotions as a theme in photography

For the future

What things can I improve on for next year?

Photography

Will definitely take into consideration the different perceptions

Really try and blend the different emotions to make pieces stronger

Just have fun and try new things, yet still considering the WoK
