Reflection Post Questions
1. What did you learn?
I learned a lot about the Peking Opera; too much to write out on a piece of paper. The thing that I learned the most about is the performers. I learned about the special meanings of costumes, lianpu, and the importance of tones and movements.
2. What was your research question?
My research question was: What was and is the Beijing Opera? (How did it work? What time period did it flourish in? What is a brief history of-? Effects? etc,...)
3. What was the answer to your research question?
The Beijing Opera is a very unique form of opera in China. It is a combination of singing, acrobatics, martial arts, and dance.
There is no easy way to explain how it works. Most actors start at young ages, some younger than twelve, and train for years in order to perfect the art. Although the stage is very simple, there are a lot of small things with big meanings in the facial paint, costumes, music, and movements. Chinese Opera is a very traditional for of art in China. Although not as much as the years before, people world wide still come to see this intriguing form of art.
The Beijing Opera formed about 200 years ago and has grown and developed since. It had to say when it really "flourished". Although Beijing opera-the theatre of the capital-has not been around that long, there are over 300 different forms of Chinese Opera that are all loosley simular and have been around a very very long time. Beijing Opera comes from the Anhua and Hubei provinces troupes.
4. Did your final product answer that question?
In a round about way, Yes.
5. How?
If some one was to come up to me and ask me if i knew about Peking Opera, I would be able to say: "Yes, I know a bit about it." Through my research, I can honestly say that I have a better understanding of really WHAT it is and what it's about.
6. What did you do well on the project?
I feel that I had a decent visual from my "presentation". I also thought it was pretty cool that I was able to bring in a recording of a preformance. I think i aslo did a good job on my research and blog posts.
7. What could you have improved on the project?
I feel that I could have definately used my time better. If I did, I feel that my project(and this is my own opinion) would not have become so sloppy. I think I should not have picked such a general topic and maybe gone for something more specific.
8. What would you change about what you did on the project?
If I could change anything on this project, I think I would honestly change my topic. It's not that the Beijing Opera was not an interesting topic, it's just that there are topics that I could have done that would makethe job a lot nicer and cleaner.
9. What would you change about the assignment itself?
Less computer work, but that's a personal opinion. Although i believe that the blogger and bookmarking is an organized and easy way to keep your information together, I'm not very good with computers, so I personally would prefer less-such as less posts and what not.
10. What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why?
A low B. I did most of the work required, although towards the end, I'll admit that I did get a little sloppy and considering all the all the time we had to work on this project, there's no excuse for it coming out half as good as it was origionally planned. However, in contrast, I spent a lot of time working on this project. More than any other project I think I've done this school year.
