Personal Project (areas of interest)
Kathak
Strengths
I have prior knowledge( the very basics) as I have learnt kathak for an year before
Will help me explore my culture more which is also an aspect I really like to do
I will get some physical movement whilst doing school work. As I hardly have time to do sports or exercise (because of school work), this will be a good chance to do physical activity whilst school work
Limitations
Learning Kathak is not a matter of 2-3 months. It takes a lot of time even to master the basics, hence, not applicable for personal project
Setting a very short time frame for such a complex art form may lead to unrealistic expectations and feelings of disappointment if the desired progress is not achieved unrealistic expectations
Kathak requires rigorous physical patience and stamina; attempting to learn this dance form in this period of time would result in a higher chance of injuries or pain.
not having a clear goal, I do not know what I want my product or outcome of learning kathak to be
Literature (poetry writing)
Strengths
I want to pursue literature in terms of higher studies and so choosing literature as the prime theme for personal project will open me to more experiences and knowledge in this field, which will aid me in the future.
Engaging in activities like poetry writing is a huge stress buster for me, and this year in MYP 5, I understand the stress is going to be next level. Hence, having a part of this academic journey dedicated to learning and enhancing poetry skills is a plus factor.
Experience: unlike Kathak, I have more experience with writing poetry as I still do it when im expeirneceing strong emotions, but my aim is to learn more and dwelve into this subject. I have had poems published in school magazines and Instagram posts, so this experience gives me an upper hand.
Clear goal: I aim to publish a book of my poems (this will help me develop a new skill which is publishing books and all the formalities that come with it)
Limitation
Exploration: Given the time constraint, poetry has numerous forms and styles, exploring majority of them will not be feasible.
Visual Art (canvas painting)
Strengths
As personal project is not about pleasing others, there is no pressure for perfection
Seeing my artistic skills develop and better in 2-3 months will give a sense of achievement
Limitations
Developing a unique artistic style and exploring self-expression through art requires more time as experimentation is a prime factor
Art is a field of extreme patience. Trying to rush through compelling the artwork or research due to time limitations can cause burnouts resulting in an incomplete project
