Exhibition Opening Night and Personal Learning

It was great to see everyone together with their work. The evening was slow to start but it did pick up about an hour before the end. The people there were mainly friends and family but it was still nice for them to see others pieces of work. It was disappointing that none of the businesses that had been contacted turned up be it may turn out that they come later in the week. All in all I think it went well and I am proud of everyone who worked hard to put it together.

Even though most of the modules have involved working as a group, I have never had to work with as large a groups this before. We were split into teams but ultimately it was everyone who had the final decision on things. This meant pleasing 19 other people which is difficult to do. There were a few negative opinions in the group but conflicts were resolved and matters dealt with.

As part of the exhibition team it involved being organised and on top of what needed to be done. Helen was the perfect leader for the group as she is extremely organised. I feel she maybe felt it difficult to delegate tasks but everyone in the group was responsible enough to take on tasks themselves or support Helen by helping her with tasks.

I learnt that the amount of work that goes into an exhibition far exceeds what I expected. It is not until one thing is done that you realise something else needs to be addressed. Once everything is done though it is worth it to see your work displayed and noticed by others.

I have really enjoyed this module however I do feel the week of the exhibition would have been better a week later as this was the week of everyones hand ins.
