Classmate Critiques

 Izzy:

Overall, I loved your idea and design. I saw a lot of elements from the artist you chose woven into your piece, and I liked your perception on what a jewelry holder could be on a more creative level. If I were to have anything to say about this, I wish that I saw a piece of jewelry with a pop of color in the center to bring it all together. I really connected with the aluminum, though, because in the hat I created, I used a lot of shimmery items, and I feel that we both went in the same direction with trying to incorporate the reflection of the water in our designs. All in all, I loved your piece and I would rate it a 10/10!


Peter:

I loved your fishing lure! It was so creative and very colorful! The part that stood out to me the most was the usage of the flowers from our walk and the eye was super cool and creative, too. I connected the most with the flowers in your design because I used similar colors for the colors of my flowers on my hat. I liked your representation, but I wish we could have seen some sort of symbol of water with it to reflect on the water portion of our walk and to connect it back to that because, after all, it is a fishing lure. I loved your design, and I would give it a 10/10!


Betty:


Your flower bag was super stylish and super creative! I know at first, you were trying to make a purse with white cloth, but you wanted to add a pop of color. The idea was amazing and worked really well. I loved the turnout! I connected with this piece due to the flowers because I had the same color flowers on my hat (yes that could totally be an outfit with your bag and my hat!). I wish there had been one flower on the brim of the bag because I think that might tie it together a little bit more, but I loved your design so much! 10/10!


Emma:


I loved the design of your lampshade! I was actually originally going to do a lampshade, too, but I ended up changing my mind last minute. I loved your color scheme and the shape of the wave. It was a very creative idea, and I know you said you did not intend for the cardboard to bend when you painted it, but it looked intentional and totally worked with your design because of the whole water element. I connected to your piece because I liked all of the detail in the curved edges of the wave. In my hat, I tried my best to precisely cut curves into the brim of my hat, and I loved seeing how your project did the same. I would love to see another one made just like that with an opposite color theme or with blue painted on the other sides as a play on the water element. I loved your piece and would give it a 10/10!

Improv Video + Reflection

  It was difficult in the beginning to pick music and to know how to start the piece, but once we started, it was very easy to continue (especially after adding in the words). It was interesting to be able to connect the piece with the music and I found it fascinating when we were all able to raise our hearts at the same moment but then all go in different directions. It was a bit frustrating to pick music, that alone took 2 classes while we were trying to work. I think our mood towards the project changed throughout the process because at first, we were all frustrated with starting it, but when we finished, everyone was relieved we had put together a good piece. Even though I can be a bit of a talkative person who likes to constantly contribute ideas to groups, I feel that everyone had a say in the final project with lighting and movements. We had to improvise a little bit of our piece towards the end because we didn’t originally have a planned ending, we went with the flow and ch...

Walking the Space

Image
  1.) I noticed that people moved more slowly as the lights went dimmer because people were becoming more aware of their surroundings and that the sound of walking became quieter. 2.) When the white lights came on, people stayed out of the light, but when the red light came on, people moved towards it. 3.) Everyone would collectively decide to follow someone at one point or another and then we'd break off and follow someone else. 4.) I was surprised that even in the dark, people were going up and down the steps.

Reflecting on the "Creativity Test"

Image
  To me, the test we took was not entirely about creativity. While the main goal was to write 10 words that are as different as humanly possible, some people had certain advantages. I'm not saying because someone has a higher or lower score on that test than I had that they are more or less creative, I'm just saying that some people might have had it a bit easier if they read more than others, or if English is their first language.
