Term Two, Campus session and Thoughts.

I'm sure a few of us felt it took us a while to truly get into the last module, my main aim this term is to keep up, not get behind and stay focused and interested on the Tasks.
Tuesdays campus session was a great kick start to '3835' Rosemarys first question to us as Individuals was on Knowledge.
 "What do you need to know to be a professional practitioner?"
This set the cogs turning, we were asked to mould our answers into graphic visions, designs to express the things we need to know and how general the information is.
Straight away I related it to the layout of a theatre, the stalls being the closest to the stage (my profession)  represented the information and skills I need for my profession theses being-
Stalls-Techniques eg.singing, Methods eg.acting, Musicality eg. theory behind it...
The next section represented by the dress circle would be things that many of us need but the specifics would be different;
Dress Circle-How to express myself, reach out to the right audiences, Attract Audience( marketing),  Knowing the key Players for us to Network and Research,
The upper circle would represent the Generic Information/ Tools we would all use in our professions but differently.
Upper Circle-Communication, Time managing and Use of modern Technologies to benefit us.

After getting into small groups to mould ideas together all the ideas were presented to the group, other great visuals came up looking at different professions.
Other ideas included-
"The teachers" Used a Diamond Drawing to show the different segments of skills and information needed including the Transdisciplinary skills.
 The Audio and Graphic designer Portrayed the creative production through a Ladder Drawing with each step representing the stages of their creative Journey.
 Our group Including Mark, Nick and Nicole used Nicks idea of Building blocks to represent the groups of information- Generic, Adaptable and Specialized these levels Building the Foundation of our Professional Practice.

This exersize particularly helped me to understand that the knowledge we have acquired might be different, but the way in which knowledge is used in different professions might be similar to our own. Also that it's about finding our speciality within our sphere of Profession. I now realise I have much more to learn about the meaning of Knowledge by itself as well as look at my own and categorize it in more detail! Not just looking at the That but That- how- Who.
