My student led conference work.
For the work I am most proud of I chose my Star Wars blue sky project. I chose it because i incorporated something that I love, I always have loved the ewoks, and how simple yet affective they were. The beauty of their defences, very trap based. So I thought I would build a trap, and why not make the biggest, baddest, and coolest.
Next, for my work that shows growth I chose my D.I challenge. At the beginning of this we thought we had no hope. Less than 175g? We thought it was impossible. After carefully reading the rules though we saw that we could use natural wood, not compressed or processed wood. Planks aren’t processed. So we pretty much took a 2×4 and hollowed out a section of it. The presentation we had to include with this was also big. It went from a heap of bad with some gems, to something I didn’t think we were capable of.
I only used the dress rehearsal because I’m in it.
Fro my growth mindset work I chose my quilt square for a couple of reasons. First the progress that it made. At first it was contrasting colours, hard to understand, but now it is simple, yet complex in a beautiful way.
I also showed a growth mindset sewing. At first I thought, I haven’t seen before, I can’t do this, this is impossible, I’m going to lose an eye. But after the fact it became something quite nice for my standards of art.
This video is me sewing the square.
