Last week I spent three days with some other students and teachers from my high school to attend the ISAS arts festival in Austin, Texas. We spent each day presenting various forms of art, and receiving critiques from experts who told us what we were doing well, as well as what we should improve. While attending the festival, I participated in the 2D art category, and the photography category; so prior to our departure date, I spent time preparing, framing, and labeling pieces of art. Additionally, I attended many workshops at the festival, where my friends and I got the opportunity to learn so many new skills including stage combat, ceramics, and watercolor painting. Further, we explored the festival, and watched the performances and critiques for other schools. This was a meaningful experience as I witnessed learned about forms of art which I have little experience with; such as rock music, the marimba, and theater. Also, I was able to deepen my previously established skills in relation to painting techniques, and the composition of photos. Overall, this event fulfills the action aspect of CAS, as we spent the entire time walking through the festival to participate in events, and it relates to the following learning outcome: Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth, as the art critiques helped us to think through the creative process, our personal styles, and how to highlight them more prominently.
