Throughout this project, we were asked to create personal monologues. This were created to discuss moments in our lives that have shaped who we are or are helping us in the process. I consider the most difficult part of this project was opening up. Finding deep down who we are and what is able to make us who we are is difficult as it is. Imagine having to open up to people who you may not know or not know that well. Even though this was a challenge to me, I felt that is is very helpful to get us more united with our classmates. It was also very helpful in helping brainstorm for college applications.
After the process of creating personal monologues, we were put into small groups. These groups were created because the same theme was coming up in each of the monologues. I consider that having a common theme was very helpful in the creation of our final monologue. Some challenging areas throughout this process would have had to be practicing and dividing roles. Even though we needed more working in memorization, we were strong in the performance and being able to deliver a message to our public. I consider the aspect that really helped us create such an amazing monologue would have to be the Frankenstein Monologue we did for my humanities teacher. This activity was writing our favorite monologue sentence and then pass the paper to your group members. Several of the worksheets made no sense but one of them was able to spark our creativity towards the creation of the final product. Personally, I feel I contributed in the creation of the characters and dialogue. We all had a small part in the creation of the monologue, most of it was teamwork. Throughout this whole process, the connections between Humanities and Art became more and more clear to me. The incorporation of art in creating an Artist Symbol to match our personal monologues, we got meanings behind it to help us understand what made us the same. When we were able to find this, it helped our monologues flow better. Even the proces of writing is related to art.
