Well, it is the close of the Semester, and man has it flown! It has been an extremely busy one for me, as I have been assigned many new tasks at school, and have recently found out about a new addition to my family. My wife, Mandy and I are expecting. It is an exciting, yet tiring time here at the Torbett household, however, I have managed to stay in the Christmas spirit despite my overwhelming life at the moment.
To introduce my summative reflection project, I feel it necessary to explain why I chose the piece that I am submitting. I feel as though change is overwhelming at times, and I am knee deep in it as we speak. I chose to do a transitional piece in hopes to capture these changes as they take place in my life. From school, to a new baby, from Fall to Winter, from a teacher to a VTS facilitator, all things are changing with me at this time.
I chose to relate my VTS reflection piece to my favorite past time, bluegrass music. No matter how busy things get, I always seem to discover myself through the natural progressions of bluegrass and art. I designed 5 separate pieces of art, each carrying the comparison of VTS and music. I felt as though each individual instrument in bluegrass can relate to a certain aspect of VTS. It takes a unit of instruments to make both a success.
I attempted to capture and translate my feelings to you guys through a visual movie. I have posted below each individual piece of art, as they were cut off during the conversion. Also, I wrote a short poem (in the spirit and rhythm of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to accompany the work. I hope you, too can relate, and also enjoy what a wonderful "unit" the entire VTS experience is. Merry Christmas everyone!
Now for My Summative Reflection piece...
