Project Response

Reflection

I was surprised to see that I wasn't the only person to use popsicle sticks for my project. However, the projects were very different as mine was more representational and the other wasn't. Looking back I think I should have done something more interactive and abstract rather than this. There wasn't much feedback from the audience because I guess everyone didn't really know what we were suppose to do.

Libby - Your project gave me a warm and welcoming sense. I interpreted it as something that’s nurturing and motherly. I view the colorful balls as children who are still young and innocent who dwell in their mother’s nest. I think the piece definitely reveals the theme of play because you get the sense of playfulness and it just makes you want to interact with the objects. I really liked the simpleness of the work and how it could also be ambiguous. My only critique would be perhaps, you could have made it into something interactive. But nonetheless, I think you did a great job expressing whatever you had intended.

Jesse -  I enjoyed seeing the varied crafts of your origami. They were very impressive because honestly, I don't even know how to do any. I view the origamis as something that's full of life. Something that people and their families come together and just have fun. I think the work does contribute to the theme of play because it involves hand crafting techniques. My suggestion is that maybe you should have involved the class by having them make something.

Tygee - Honestly, I didn't quite understand your project when I first saw it but after hearing your explanation, I thought it was pretty interesting. I like how you used something so simple but yet the simplicity conveys much more. I interpreted your project as reminiscence. I don't know but it just brings me back to my childhood playing with action figures, having my toys fight each other and doing all these movements. My only suggestion would be, maybe you could have filmed like a short stop motion action sequence of the wrestlers or something. But I think the photos you took were probably elaborate enough.
