Unfortunately, I failed to change the student’s minds as planned for the last intervention, but when this model exposes to them, it has the potential changes. And in the last tutorial with Minka, she suggested calling back to the participants to see some potential changes.
I sent messages to the workshop group to ask participants whether they have some thoughts after the last workshop, no matter the career model that I showed them or their own career model.
Yuchen (art practitioner) said that she is thinking about the balance between the critical path and the commercial path, which I mentioned in the multiple identities ability. Apart from that, she also thinking about her own communication ability. Since she always works with interdisciplinary workers, she thinks she needs to strengthen her communication ability with them, and think about how to translate interdisciplinary jargon into visual language.
I think she start to think about her own career model based on her personal experience. That is the thing I want to see, and I believe there are more potencial change.

Here is the answers from Muzi and Sirui:
Muzi (art practitioner) said that she is thinking about the sence of value. She also mentioned some abilities in my career model becomes to must-have ability. life will push you to grow up and develop it. But she is greatful that I conducted this workshop, since she is too busy to think and talk like this for a long time.
But her reply reminds me again that my career model is not the only and perfect answer. What I want to change is not let all the fine art student follow my career moodel. My model is just a reference, and I am trying to give the light in the dark, since this model was missing from my previous education. The real change is let them thinking about their own model, rather than only focus on studio skills. As what Muzi said, the ability in my model is the must-have ability for her, so how about her own model? Is there are other special abilities for her?I think that’s the potential change, and it needs time.
While Sirui (student) still have no thoughts. She only care about the recent exam. I think the difference is really depends on the status. Students do not know the cruelty of the society. But I still believe it has potencial change after she graduate and experiences some setbacks in the future.
