500 word summary
This year was full on. Im not totally ok with the idea of having to work with performing artists and creative writers now that everything is finished. Me and debs as visual artists had to pick up most of the slack, it was horrible. It wasn't from lack of trying to communicate, it was just they didn't think it was important. There were people that weren't able to make it because they had class... well, we had class too. One member of my group hadn't shown up to one meeting in the whole term as they were too busy, and when it came to the final performance, it looked like they had been there the whole time. Debs and I had plans to leave the group, and also talked to frances where she said if it wasn't working, to just leave the group. But, as soon as we were to make the move, the group became dependant on us in the fact that the would follow us almost as if we didn't really have a choice. They only talked to debs and I when we had class, and that was very rarely happening. When it came to certain parts, one said that they came up with the idea so they didn't have to do anything else. it was horrible. When there were brief meetings, there were disagreements on almost every idea and there was no compromising. in the end me and deb took matters into our own hands and finished everything. From the editing, to the video documentations, to the printing, everything. I hope that if there is to have a class next year I will be very adamant about who I will not be able to work with. If I had the chance to change my group, including debs, always. I think the classes should have the option of working within their own department ie; visual arts grouping etc. I would've rather work with my own visual arts class mates. I can trust them completely. I can trust that we can bring out the best in eachothers ability. We all have different strengths in visual arts. not all of us know how to paint or draw or edit videos. hopefully next year they will imrove and listen to our complaints
