For my PYP Exhibition,I have chosen baking.The recent I chose baking because I want to improve my time-management skills.I learnt time management through baking because I only have 80 mins ( usually if I’m in school ) and I also need to clean u the kitchen.After doing the Exhibition,I am quite interested in baking!

My symbolic piece is a clock and some text bubble.The clock is to represent time-management.Those text bubbles have written some skills I learned in this Exhibition, like baking skills,goal setting,research skills,do reflection on the feedback,buy the right ingredients.

My symbolic piece connects to my Exhibition.The ATL I choose is time-management and it’s really important to me because I am bad at it before the Exhibition.And the five skills ( text bubble ) are also connected to time-management.I improved them a lot through this Exhibition so this is the best to represent my journey!

For my PYP exhibition I decided to do film making. I have made 2 movies from each week about the exhibition. I was going to film all the 4 weeks of the exhibition but then we had to do homebase-learning. So I have made this piece of art to represent my journey throughout the exhibition.

My artwork is called “The Director”. It is called “The Director” because I am filming, organising, and editing my film. The red background represents the stress and excitement when I am organising my exhibition. On the top you can see that there are photos of different clips I took throughout the weeks. The hardest bit was putting the director chair and hat into the artwork. I think this artwork shows that I enjoyed the exhibition process, and hopefully it will become useful in the future.

Conclusion - What has been a positive experience for you

For the PYP Exhibition, I explored engineering and learning about problems in instruments. I chose this because I wanted to improve on time management with big projects. I’ve had a long journey during this Exhibition, and had a lot of success with interviews and other work. Along with the success was a lot of unsuccess.

My successes included; Interviewing, Upgrading my slides, and doing the riverstone and timetable/to do list. When starting Off-Campus Learning, I have been going down hill. I have still been trying to complete work, but often get distracted. Often when I was distracted, I would be playing games, eating and drawing. I wanted to improve on the ATLS; Time-Management and Perseverance. As said, I do less work at home. I needed these skills so I coSuld do better in Secondary. Without these skills, I would struggle in Secondary.

My artistic piece showed my journey in Exhibition. This artwork showed a person climbing a mountain. This mountain represents the journey I have gone through, and how hard it was especially not being at school. The Piano represents the musical instruments I have been studying, and it could also represent the ground from high up. The climber is holding what was supposed to be a hammer... which turned into an axe. This ’hammer’ is representing the engineering/designing.

The first thing I felt while doing the exhibition was that it was going to be easy. Turns out it's not. Having to present in front of everyone and speak out loud is harder than you might think. You have to prepare slides, talk in front of the audience and get feedback. I didn't like my first load of feedback at all. As the weeks came it was easier but then we had home based learning. I became stressed as we were going to present on online learning. Fortunately, it was easier than I thought.

My art piece is a symbol of all my ATL’s together, from writing to speaking to self control. Can you guess which ones which? The speakerphone is my symbol of speaking. The checklist is the symbol of writing, and the banner is a symbol of self control. If you look carefully the banner has a quote about the feeling nervous by Paula Creamer. Ever since I found this, I decided to try to be more confident with my speaking, knowing that I want to do well, I felt confident. The 2 colors in the background represent fun and stress. Red-stress, blue-fun. These 2 colors have been the main course of my success and my faults. That’s why I chose them.

I feel as if my entire story relates to this image. The colors, the symbols and what it means to me. My exhibition has its ups and downs throughout the few weeks but to me the art explains it all. I was stressed at first, then it felt fun and back to stress. It just kept repeating. My symbols also relate to the things I need to do better, checklist. I need to put down my goals for next time more. Banner. I need to remember this to stay calm, and the speakerphone. I need to speak up. I’m near the end of the exhibition and I realised it might not be so bad after all.
