20 Time Reflection
Over the course of this project, I have expanded into many areas that I wasn't expecting. I think I challenged myself through this very open-ended idea that I wanted to pursue and finding a way to incorporate that into a project. Choosing this challenge seemed like a natural part of the project-- needing to embrace the bigger picture and finding a way to apply it to a smaller, community level. From this, my goal became to include the community and trying to get people to participate in raising the level of awareness for the arts here. Even though I learned a lot about myself through this project, my main goal was to influence my community. To achieve this goal, I planned to make a Facebook page that encourage people to share their interests and talents with others. The page itself went okay; however, people were not as active in sharing as I would like. So I expanded my page to tell about why the arts were important in education, and I contacted an organization about starting a drive. Currently, I am also scheduling a filming day with a friend to make my contribution to the page. I learned that people are quite shy, and that it takes a lot of prodding and promoting to get people to share. If I got a chance to redo this project, I think I would have started trying to research and contact organizations earlier, since communication actually takes a lot of time. Hopefully after this project, the site will still continue to have a following, and I wish to continue to post on there occasionally.
