CAS PORTFOLIO

21.03 - 07.04 https://www.facebook.com/1lolublinstaszic/videos/937572049678749/ As a group of four ambitious students interested in cinematography and film making, we decided to create a short video about various school profiles. One of my colleague's dad is a professional film maker, this is why we possessed an expensive and professional equipment. My main task was managing the group and to some extent directing. Working in a group was really challenging due to our different views and ideas, however I think that our final product is a synthesis of all of our ideas.

While visiting the Museum in Bełżec, out teachers started the initiative to translate one of the books that was available to buy there. It was in order to make the knowledge about history of Roma people more accessible for foreigners as almost every material there was only in Polish. As one of the volunteers I translated the part about awareness of Roma extermination, educational conference and workshops for children and their reflexion about it. I did not only improved my language skills but also gathered additional knowledge about Roma people. I am glad to be a part of the group that to some extent contribute to the spread of awareness of Roma history.

The Moco Museum is where art of Banksy and Dali is placed. Of course it is not all of their works, but I was able to appreciate some. I have never seen any piece of those artists. This is why I was very eager to visit this place. I admire Banksy for the simplicity of forwarded messages that usually focus on human rights, transformation of hostility into kindness or social hypocrisy. Dali's works are usually very colorful and surrealistic. My favorite piece of his that is placed in Moco is the lips sofa that wit background drawings creates the face of Marilyn Monroe.

The visit in the Berlinische Galerie was one of the most pleasant experiences during my stay in Berlin. The Galerie consists great amount of paintings of various artists from different ages.

During the exchange, we managed some time to visit musem of modern art - KW Museum. It has stimulated my creativity. My favorite part was a sound exhibition about existence.

Bauhaus is the art school that focuses on furniture and inferior design. It also displays the work of its students. During my stay in Lublin I had an opportunity to appreciate the work of great designers.

This month I was learning how to draw the women portraits. I enjoyed it very much as this is the most interesting part of the course. As you can see working with coal is not easy, but I sill like it more than pencil. Drawing teaches me how crucial it is to think before you do, because everything has consequences - like stains of dirty coal on a paper.

Every Thursday This month I also regularly trained on PE. These lessons show me how important the physical effort is to make the performance during the mental effort even greater.

The Exchange was part 2 of my CAS project and project about Roma people. This experience contributed to the gathering of knowledge about this minority and its history in Germany. It was also the amazing time with culture exchange with Germans and Greeks.
