So in my time with the Cgi, ive met some amazing women who volunteer with the cgi and even after the project ends,i know that ill definitely stay in touch with these inspirational women. Instead of just telling you about my time with the cgi, i think it would be fitting to show it though the use of pictures.

As it nears the end of my community based practice module, it became clear that i wouldnt be able to complete my wall mural by the end of april. This is a bitter sweet feeling as it means that i am able to continue working with the girls on the mural after the module ends but then again, it means that i wouldnt be completing my project by the time set out in the work plan.

The girls have had so many ideas in relation to the board such as adding texture and integrating their favourite photos from the last year in the design. I am trying my very best to take all their ideas on board but ill have to use my creative skills and edit the elements down into something that reflects the girls views on guides while also keeping it to a beautiful aesthetic.

Myself and the leaders will be planning an evening where we will do an unveiling of the mural for the girls and their parents/guardians. We believe that this will get the parents engaged in the girls passion for guides as well as attempt to gain some interest in some more volunteer leaders for the upcoming year. As i mentioned in a previous post, the CGI organisation is an entirely volunteer organisation so we rely heavily on the help from volunteer parents. The volunteer parents act as emergency cover if a leader doesnt show up as well as attending trips where an extra set of hands is needed.

Friday marks the end of community based practice. So i thought it would be appropriate to give my thought of what i think about the module as one of my last blog posts.

Honestly, although i loved volunteering with the CGI, i found the module itself an extreme waste of time. I understand it coming from the art course point of view, and i understand how its necessary for the artists to be involved in their community with their profession and it should be a module offered it to them. But for someone who is studying a demanding course like graphic design, i believe its not at all beneficial to sit in a classroom and watch a documentary that has no relevance to the course we're doing. I really do believe my time could of been used more efficiently.

I must also bring up the topic of having a class about how to write a blog post up in the St. Peters campus as a highly inconvenience to the design students. Especially those who have completed their community based practice weeks and months before. Us design students have a demanding course in relation to assignments so we use every minute of every day to complete these assignments.

Dont get me wrong, i believe volunteering is so so important for the community but it shouldnt be forced on us in the manner that it was. People should be passionate and willing to give up their time to take part in the community and forcing it wont encourage a positive experience from it. Other groups didnt have a positive experience working together as clashing personalities were forced to work together under a stressful environment and tension was high. I cannot see how that benefits a community if people cant even come together to work together.
