BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK (please post to your blog by December 22:
Write about what you have learned on this project - answer the following questions. Please be thoughtful and specific in your response.
1. First of all, what did you make? What is it?
2. Write out your process in detail - how did you make it?
3. What tools, materials, and equipment did you use?
4. What skill were you focused on developing or learning?
5. What did you particularly enjoy about the process? What was challenging or difficult?
6. What do you think you did well on with this project?
Critique your project in terms of the Principles and Elements of Design. Be specific. Did you push yourself to learn something new? Did you make deliberate choices in making and designing your project? Did you follow through with what you said you would? Has it made you want to learn more in that specific area?
AFTER CHRISTMAS BREAK:
Upload at least one photograph of the project you have been working on the last week (you can upload multiple photos if you want). We will provide you the photographs you took of your project and you can choose which ones to upload to your blog.
When you have uploaded and written about your own project, go to your classmates' blogs (via your Google Reader account). Comment and constructively critique them, keeping in mind the Principles and Elements of Design. What do you really like about what they have done? Write on their blogs.
